This study is consistent with previous studies which are of the view that technological issues such as bad network can throttle relational depth and invariably ruin the therapeutic relationship (Amos, 2022;Amos et al, 2020;Treanor, 2017)…”

Relational depth is regarded as one of the key elements in counselling therapy. However, conclusive evidence on when and how to apply it is still lacking in Ghana. This study engaged the qualitative research approach, using the phenomenological design to sample the views of five professional counsellors. The findings are that there should be some observable behaviours, characteristics or traits about the therapist that would make the client feel comfortable to connect with, gender may play a role in establishing relational depth with clients, and greater consideration is given to the experiences and expertise of the counsellor. The study concluded that it would be difficult for counsellors to establish a deep and professional relationship with their clients without a strong sense of trust, privacy, warmth, and confidentiality. It is suggested that counsellors attend workshops and seminars and enrol in higher academic courses and counselling-related programs to achieve relevant competencies and skills. This will help them align with the strains of contemporary counselling demands.
