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.

Love you guys, love Laura Duncan like she's family I've never been able to talk to anybody about what happened to me and I never thought that I would be able to feel this comfortable
She’s very sweet and not judgmental
Laura is professional and listens. It is abundantly apparent that she really wants to find the root cause of an issue and asks questions until she can put the pieces together accurately. I would recommend her to apprehensive talkers too. She really digs in and gets you to open up.
Amazing
She’s been a good person to vent to.
Laura is fantastic! I can’t recommend her enough. She’s compassionate, driven, solution-oriented, very easy to talk to, funny, flexible, reliable - the list goes on! Laura is helping me reclaim my life with the ease of a long lost mentor and I couldn’t be more appreciative.
Laura has been a great source of support since my first session with her. Sessions with her always leave me feeling unburdened and with a clear frame of mind. She makes me feel comfortable and she is very easy to open up to.
Although we only worked together for a couple of months Laura helped me work through some difficult emotions and realise where they are coming from. She is very easy to talk to which I loved as I have found this difficult in previous therapy. I've learnt some tools I can take away with me and I know she will be there if I need to return, I am truly grateful for our time together. Thanks a million!
So far I have only had two sessions with Laura but the experience has been favorable.
Laura is a great professional who always gives valuable insights!
Laura is highly professional and a great listener. She is helping me with a complex issue and teaching me to navigate my personal and relationship issues with a step by step approach.
So far it's going well
Laura has been extremely kind and professional, and I appreciate that she is very easy to talk to!
