Is WhatsApp counselling effective?

Yes. Many people find that written and voice-based reflection helps them process emotions more clearly and consistently, especially for daily stress and relationship issues.

Is WhatsApp counselling confidential?

Yes. All conversations are treated with professional confidentiality and ethical care.

Is WhatsApp therapy the same as clinical therapy?

No. WhatsApp counselling focuses on emotional support, clarity, and coping strategies. It is not a replacement for psychiatric care or emergency mental health services.

How often can I communicate with my counsellor?

This depends on the agreed structure. Support is designed to be flexible while still maintaining clear boundaries.

Is WhatsApp counselling suitable if I feel overwhelmed?

Yes. Many clients choose this format precisely because it feels gentler and more manageable during overwhelming periods.

Important Note

For urgent situations, please use the emergency service provided by the HKSAR government (e.g. the “999” emergency service, or the 24/7 hotline 18111) or the service in your community if you reside out of HK. Rebalance is responsive but it is not a 24/7 service, when you don’t get a response quick enough to meet your needs, please reach out to those 24/7 hotlines or services.
