Online counseling refers to the provision of therapeutic helping services which manipulated the electronic communication technology between a professional counselor with his or her clients via devices such as telephone, e-mail, and other social media platforms. One of the services that is getting more attention right now in Malaysia is the tele-counseling which refers to the provision of counseling service via telephone. However, since the policy on its’ provision is still inexistence, this new trend of providing counseling service is still not being accepted by the conventional practitioners, who are still believed in the face-to-face communication in order to establish an effective counseling relationship.  The objective of this concept paper is to explore views of local counseling experts on the feasibility of tele-counseling provision. The thematic analysis from research data revealed three main themes namely, (i) acceptence towards tele-counseling; (ii) advantages of tele-counseling; and (iii) limitations of tele-counseling.

Abstract

School violence, such as bullying and intimidation, remains a crucial issue with a serious impact on student well-being, despite various preventative measures. Conventional guidance and counseling services, which often employ methods such as lectures and group discussions, are considered ineffective in fostering empathy and providing a deeper understanding of the impact of violence. To address this gap, an innovative intervention called Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT) was proposed and implemented. VRT uses realistic simulations, allowing students to experience violent scenarios from multiple perspectives: as victims, perpetrators, and witnesses. The program includes training for guidance and counseling teachers, VR content creation workshops, and implementation support, aimed at improving their technical skills and readiness to adopt the technology. Evaluations using pretests and posttests showed significant improvement. This improvement demonstrates that VRT is an effective and transformative tool for creating safer and more violence-free school environments.
