Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Great help and person!
Edward is extremely professional and thoughtful. He has wonderful personality and immense knowledge in his field.

Supportive, caring, understanding and attentive.
Edward is thoughtful, timely, and a real pleasure to work with. He provides actionable insight and I leave every session feeling a little more optimistic.
Awesome
Ed has offered a straight non-judgmental approach, combined with a sound ability to listen and with tools to help. He offers a safe environment to share and is always present and aware of when I am communicating my thoughts.
Ed has been thoughtful and really listens to me during our sessions. I find Ed to be very insightful and knowledgeable about situations we've discussed and he offers great tools for me to use. I feel fortunate to have been matched with Ed. This has been a great experience.
Edward is thoughtful and professional. My chats with him were productive and I left each session feeling a little more hopeful.
I have been not consistent with my first task but I am trying and my therapist is not judging but listening
We have only had a few sessions so far, but communication is going well and I am looking forward to future sessions.
Great - amazing person and therapist- very thankful that I found him!
Very satisfied with the meetings.
Edward is knowledgeable and insightful. He is able to explain complex phenomena in simple words and how to replace poor habits into useful ones. Highly recommended!
Ed is a great therapist, and I can't say enough good about him.
Highly recommended
Been seeing him for 6 months now and i have nothing to complain about at all. He's engaged, listening and always remembers what we talk about
Great guy! Easy to talk to
Has very good advise and listens. Simple suggestions with excellent results.
So far I have been impressed, I have had a very negative view of mental health and medical professionals do to past experience but Edward in the short time I've been working with him has shown patience, compassion and understanding and what I can only assume is at least a small degree of mind reading while navigating what I'm trying to say or what might help. I've spoken highly of him to friends and my parents and have 100% recommended this platform to them.
I’m so blessed to have been matched with Ed; I was able to overcome and accomplish a lot with each session. Thank you very much, Ed; you made me feel safe and comfortable to open up, so I am delighted of you in my journey of life.
Edward is a great listener and actively works with me on strategies to be better. He provides exercises I can do on my own time and supplemental reading that I can use between appointments.
I have never had professional mental counselling/therapy before. Ed made each therapy session very warm and welcoming. I received more help than the problem I originally brought with me. I learned that my entire life experience is relevant to my healing and I feel more than 100% myself. Now, I can go back into the real world and be my best and authentic self - being there for my family, friends, coworkers, neighbours, etc. I enjoy being alive so much! Thank you Ed! I can't thank you enough for your professional yet relaxed/laidback style of therapy experience!
I appreciate BetterHelp for the help I’ve received they are amazing
It have been really good and an amazing chemistry so far. In a couple of months an enhanced review might be provided
Thanks Ed for you open handed approach. You have definitely helped identify ways to improve and I think we have resolved some important issues so far. Looking forward to more sessions soon!
Edward has been fantastic in my sessions with him. He is always listening and patient whenever I need to get something difficult off of my shoulders. He has helped provide me with a framework of how to address the issues I have been having, and hey have been successful so far. I really appreciate his presence and ability to listen.
Great listener! Calm empathic and solid person with life experience
Brilliant listener, great at his job, helped me with working out my own thoughts. Keep it up!
Helpful, prompt, and sympathetic without allowing me to indulge in my negative instincts.
Ed is a really empathetic person. He knows how to listen. Highly recommend:)
Ed takes the time to listen to gather context and does not make conclusions without having the necessary info.
He is very understanding and can feel how you feel and empathise with you.
Really great communicator, very kind and easy to open up to. Can tell he cares about his profession and the people he talks to
Ed is extremely helpful and gets right to the point without superfluous fluff. He listens and doesn’t just talk at you. Highly recommend.
I just started my journey to heal, I very much enjoy my time spent with Edward. He’s a good listener and is very empathetic. I will be adding to my review as my sessions move forward.
Thank u for help me try to conquer my battles don’t leave my side
Ed is unbiased honest and compassionate about not only me and my well-being but also therapy as a whole. I would without a single doubt in my mind recommend him to anyone seeking a therapist.
