Abstract
COVID-19 has gravely impacted global mental health, exacerbated distress, depression, and anxiety, while causing widespread loss of life and employment. The pandemic has led to a significant transition in psychotherapy services delivery from one-on-one interaction to telehealth conversation. This article explores current literature on the global trends regarding the impact of COVID-19 on mental health, the shift to telehealth therapy, ethical issues in service delivery, practical challenges and the future of digitalisation in psychotherapeutic interventions. The review indicates that telehealth provides numerous opportunities while presenting ethical issues for both therapists and clients, including the need for maintaining professional boundaries, ensuring privacy and confidentiality, and adapting to new technologies. This calls for further research on the implications of telehealth, its applications, limitations and potential methods for improving psychotherapy services. The discourse, therefore, highlighted the importance of flexibility, creativity, adaptability and effective communication in psychotherapy.
