The short answer is yes. Although there are some differences with online counselling, the similarities and benefits are well documented these days. Some couples do a mixture of in-person and online depending on there changing circumstances.
A surprising but significant benefit that we’ve observed over the past few years is the willingness of men to both attend and continue attending couples counselling. This is to do with the ease of getting to counselling. Whereas in-person is a lot more effort to attend counselling and so men are often less willing to maintain couples counselling.
The couple is in their own environment so they are far more comfortable than attending a strange counselling room.
Another important observation is that we see that both people have a bigger voice online than attending an in-person appointment.
