We interviewed Susanne Irving about her experience as an online counsellor with GamCare the leading provider of information, advice, support and free counselling for the prevention and treatment of problem gambling in the UK. (You can find out further information about their work at www.gamcare.org.uk)

The GamCare online counselling team have delivered more than 1,400 counselling sessions via Internet Chat in the last 4 years. They have recently begun to offer a mixture of chat and e-mail sessions to certain client groups. With this extensive experience they have built up a unique expertise in offering a therapeutic space online.

The interview is an opportunity to hear about Susanne’s experience and to ask her your own questions about working as an online counsellor. Whether you are in private practice and thinking about training as an online counsellor or manage a counselling service and are thinking about introducing online counselling, Susanne’s experience will be relevant and useful.
