Online counsellor — entry level upwards, anywhere in Pakistan

Every one of the forty-five cities in our directory has people in it who will not walk into a clinic — because the clinic is three hours away, because somebody at home would ask where they were going, or because being seen going in is the part they cannot face.

Why we are open to this role

Every one of the forty-five cities in our directory has people in it who will not walk into a clinic — because the clinic is three hours away, because somebody at home would ask where they were going, or because being seen going in is the part they cannot face. Online work is how those people get seen at all, and it is the only role here that is remote by definition rather than by preference.

بہت سے لوگ کلینک نہیں جا سکتے — فاصلہ، گھر والوں کا سوال، یا دیکھے جانے کا ڈر۔ آن لائن کام انہی لوگوں تک پہنچنے کا راستہ ہے، اور یہ کردار مکمل طور پر آن لائن ہے۔

What the work is

  • Video or voice sessions from wherever you are. No premises, no commute, no fixed shift.
  • Writing, for the people who can type what they cannot say out loud.
  • Knowing when online is not enough and saying so in the first session rather than the sixth.

What we ask for

  • A private room and a connection that holds for fifty minutes.
  • Your qualification. We will take somebody at the start of their career here, which we do not do for every role on this page.
  • A plan for the session where somebody tells you they are not safe — we publish ours at /crisis-protocol and we will ask you about yours.

Qualification: A degree in psychology, counselling or social work, or a recognised counselling diploma with supervised hours. You must be 18 or over.

The arrangement, the same for every role here. You are self-employed. You set your own fee, and there is no charge to be listed. The patient pays you directly and in full — nothing is deducted and nothing is held by us. For a session we introduced, 10% of that fee comes back to us afterwards, towards the video rooms, the booking system and the running costs; this is a charity project and patients are never charged for anything. You keep your own patients, and nothing is owed on work that did not come through us. Your phone number and your address are never published: enquiries reach you through us. You decide your own hours and how many people you take. We check your qualifications, and your registration where your profession has a register, before anybody is approved — nobody is listed on their own word. We do not supervise your clinical practice and we do not carry your indemnity.

Applying takes about ten minutes and puts you in front of a human, not a filter. We check registration numbers against the council register before replying, so allow a few days. You can see and change your application any time at depression.pk/application.
