Online counselling
Hi, I believe this was the edit in question:

''There have been a few organisations offering training for practitioners who intend on using the Internet for Counselling Clients since 1999. One of the best is OnlineCounsellors.co.uk, which offers a six Module training in theoretical, practical and ethical aspects of online practice. The training is run solely by Kate Anthony, MSc, co-editor of "Technology in Counselling and Psychotherapy: A Practitioners Guide" (Palgrave, 2003) and President of the International Society for Mental Health Online (see link below).''

Adding external links to articles is generally only acceptable when the link concerns the subject of the article directly. If a link is aimed at a commercial site which is indirectly related to the subject, it is generally considered advertising and can be removed. Describing a commercial site as "One of the best..." is also unacceptable without independent verification of this fact. If you have a commercial website which passes the WP:WEB criteria, by all means create a separate entry. The link to www.kateanthony.co.uk would similarly only be acceptable on a separate article about the subject herself (would have to comply with WP:BLP) or if accompanied by independent verification (e.g. major media reports such as links to BBC, national newspaper web articles) about the status of the individual. Wikipedia is very careful about the inclusion of external links, and the principles of verifiability and establishing the importance / significance of all content. I hope this helps.
