Thank you so much for all your help, Patricia. Initially, I was looking for someone who had expertise in issues related to emotional abuse, and not only are you perfectly qualified in that area, you have helped me unfold and unpack so much related stuff of which I was not even aware. Thank you for validating my feelings, but also catching me when I start to repeat maladaptive behaviour I’m trying to wean myself out of. Thank you so much for all your help. It is no exaggeration to say that you have changed my life – for the better! – and I can think so much more clearly and have so much more confidence in myself as a result. xx

So pleased with how my sessions are going with Patricia. She listens and I don’t feel judged in anyway. She helps me find sessions that fit around work, she communicates well and always on time to our session. I would highly recommend Patricia and Better Help to others.

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.

I have been with Trish for over a month now, and experienced a breakthrough at our 4th session - we found one of the roots for anxiety, and it has almost entirely left me. It was an incredible relief. There is still a lot fo work left, but I'm confident that we'll get there step by step.
