An integrative review of the person-centred and experiential therapy literature on delivering individual video counselling and psychotherapy

Based on an integrative review of the relevant literature in and on person-centred and experiential (PCE) therapy, this study identifies and discusses the findings of 13 articles on the delivery of individual video counselling and psychotherapy. Six overarching themes were identified: the discrepancy of the experiences of clients and practitioners; the possibility of good-quality PCE therapy (psychotherapy and/or counselling); "doing" PCE therapy online; "being" online; the role of technology; and implications for training and practice. It is suggested that all these have implications for ongoing practice and education/training, and need to be considered by practitioners, educators/trainers, and professional bodies.
