Dear friends,

With rapid development and progress of society, the problems people are facing have become more complicated than before. Many people have experienced pressures from daily living and work. Some may even develop anxiety and/or depression disorders over time.

Different types of treatment services, such as medical, psychological and community mental health services, have been developed in society. However, some of these services have been criticized for not meeting individual needs and circumstances, and thus are not available for people in need of timely help.

The purpose of the e-counseling center is to help people who are confronted with anxiety, depression, or other mental distress, to be aware of and to deal with their mental health problems as soon as possible. With the use of online technologies and based on findings from evidence- based research, the iCounseling International Ltd. is developed to provide a new online counseling service to people in need of timely psychosocial support.

In order to ensure the quality of service, the iCounseling International Ltd. has adopted effective mechanisms and measures to ensure that the quality of online guided self-learning courses and self-help programmes and service meet the standards and requirements of Hong Kong Professional Counselling Association.

Finally, on behalf of the iCounseling International Ltd., I wish everyone good health.

Associate Head of Department of Social Work

・WELCOME・

Hello！

Many friends suffer from depression or anxiety due to various kinds of stress. Research studies show that during COVID-19 outbreak in Hong Kong, the prevalence rate of depression or anxiety has increased by 30% to 40%.However, even though many people find that they are suffering from depression or anxiety, they are very resistant to going to the traditional counseling center for help. The reasons include: local social distancing precaution measures against COVID-19, fear of being infected within a small counselling room, and fear of being labeled as mentally ill, discriminated, stigmatized, and bullied. However, if they do not receive any counseling, their depression or anxiety will be deteriorated.

In response to these service needs, the iCounseling International Ltd. provides you with online counseling services so that you can receive counseling services at home in a safe, comfortable, and convenient environment.

This counseling center is an extraordinary counseling center. The iCounseling International Ltd. has been awarded the consultant service by Professor Petrus Ng Department of Social Work Hong Kong Baptist University, sponsored by the Technology Start-up Support Scheme for Universities (TSSSU) from Innovation and Technology Commission HKSAR; and sponsored by the INCU-APP from HKSTP.

This counseling centre is committed to providing you with high-quality online counseling services. It will transform the research work of local universities on online counseling into services to help you reduce depression and anxiety. The counselors of this centre will provide you with telephone counseling and/or face-to-face counseling via zoom meeting if needed.

I am convinced that the online counseling services provided by this centre can help you reduce stress, depression and anxiety.

Wish you good physical and mental health!
