Whilst online disinhibition is recognised within the profession as the unregulated release of emotions when online, there is a lack of research exploring how this is experienced and understood by counsellors using video conferencing.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Method</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Six counsellors participated in semi-structured interviews, ‘in person’ or via video-conferencing.

Results suggest the experience of disinhibition is highly individualised with participants making sense of this concept through unique perspectives. Their understanding of online disinhibition was influenced by their transition into a post-COVID-19 world and the need to adapt to technological changes. Consequently, participants made sense of the online disinhibition effect within the video-conferencing therapeutic relationship.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Findings indicate counsellor and client co-experience each other, and the mediating factors of disinhibition, within the context of the technological relationship. As such, online disinhibition is seen here as a complex process of co-creation within the relationship, as opposed to something that ‘happens’ to the client. Training providers, supervisors and practitioners could facilitate more effective and ethical practice by increasing their awareness of the element of co-creation and highly individualised experience of online disinhibition.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46997,"journal":{"name":"Counselling & Psychotherapy Research","volume":"25 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/capr.70054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145686076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to compare two recommended repair strategies: (a) <i>immediate repair</i>, in which the therapist tries to resolve an obstacle by immediate problem-solving, or (b) <i>expressive repair</i>, in which the therapist addresses the disruption by focussing on emotional issues that may be the basis for the rupture. Each strategy was also compared with a condition consisting of minimal encouragers, representing no attempt at repair other than adopting a listening stance.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Method</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>In the study, participants watched two brief audiovisual recordings of stimuli presented as coming from two different psychotherapy cases in which a disruption had occurred. In one recording, the therapist uses either a repair strategy or the listening stance, and in the other recording, the therapist uses either the second repair strategy or the listening stance. For half the participants, therapist and client in the therapy recordings were male; for the other half, therapist and client were female.
