Abstract

Counselling via Internet is a professional practice with a short history but with proven application potential in the areas of counselling and psychotherapy. An unexplored topic concerns client attitudes toward this type of intervention compared to more traditional forms of counselling and psychotherapy. The sample comprises 242 adult respondents of both sexes. The hypothesized structural validity of the instrument was confirmed by a principal components analysis of the ten items and the internal consistency of the results is very good. The practical implications of the results are discussed.
