Not possible at all, professional counseling has very specific characteristics that cannot be met by a platformI have a neutral attitudeIt is feasible if it is combined with consultation from an expert (ie participation in a joint process)The results of such a procedure cannot be adequately controlled, so it can be a waste of time.Nothing can replace human relationship and face-to-face communicationWith the presence of a good help desk, such a process may be possibleIt always depends on the person looking for professional counseling / support, his needs and desires.I'm not particularly in favor, but I understand that such platforms may be useful if one wants to explore one's potential in another country.Other
