Kiki, better known online as Kiaraakitty, has had to consider a career change after being banned multiple times from the live streaming platform Twitch for allegedly “showing too much.”
The streamer, who has over 200,000 followers, stated that she was banned from the streaming site nine times, and thus decided to put down roots elsewhere. With this in mind, Kiki revealed that she decided to offer free therapy to her fans.
“I’m offering free therapy! I’m not a specialist, I myself have been in therapy for 2 years, so feel free to fill this out, it’s 100% anonymous, only your story matters,” she said after sharing a link with her followers.
The link directs fans to a form where they are encouraged to share their thoughts, feelings, and questions. Despite this commendable gesture, some internet users were not very fond of the idea, suggesting it could do more harm than good.
“An unqualified person providing therapy can actually cause significant harm. If you want to give advice to people, that’s fine, [but] don’t call it therapy,” wrote a user on X (formerly Twitter).
“As a psychologist, I say it’s impossible to provide therapy on Twitch or any other live streaming platform in an ethical manner,” concluded the user, who is currently completing their PhD in the field.
