Anne has been amazing at helping my mental health. Within less than a year I felt like a completely different person, and everyone around me noticed. She's been patient, flexible and understanding, and I could not have asked for a better therapist.

Anne Ryan-Thomas has been immensely helpful in my mental health journey. Within weeks, she contributed to making me feel more confident about myself and helped me discover what my negative thought patterns were, and the measures I'd need to fix them. She always had resources at hand to deal with any issue I had, and she was always compassionate, empathetic and non-judgemental in her advice.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
