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.

Alice has been a truly exceptional support over the time I have been going to her. I cam away from every session feeling stronger, and more optimistic, and feel like I've been shown ways of thinking and practical tools that I can take forwards and keep growing with for the rest of my life. I feel like we very quickly got to the root of issues I was facing, and Alice really helped me to see each of my problems in the context of my broader life and experience. When it came time to finish our sessions, I felt ready and confident.

Alice is down to earth, approachable, likeable and very knowledgeable. She’s caring, but still professional and seems to be able to hone in on your problem areas quickly and offer ways to overcome the issues at hand. She tells it like it is while still remaining non-biased, non-judgemental, non-critical and has a very gentle and encouraging approach. My experience with Alice has been a very positive one. She’s helped me greatly in my therapy, she’s made me feel like I’m not alone, has helped me boost my confidence and made me feel like there is another human on this earth who cares about me my progress and my future.

Working through several issues centred around grief, loss, communication issues, lack of self esteem, Alice has helped me understand a great deal about myself. She is a very considerate therapist, and although sometimes her probing brings up deeply uncomfortable feelings, it is through this discomfort and her acknowledgement of it, that I have been able to give voice to some deep rooted issues I had previously buried or numbed out. She is very professional, and our weekly sessions have helped me come a long way. Thank you Alice.

Alice is an amazing person and an amazing therapist. She has helped me navigate and get through one of the toughest periods of my life. The beginning of the process was really scary for me but she was able to guide me through every step of my personal journey. Over the last few months she's shared an amazing 'toolkit' with me that has helped me so much in my everyday life. I feel that I have learnt a huge amount about myself with her help. I would 100% recommend her to anybody that is currently seeking help or struggling with their own emotions. Thanks again for everything Alice.

Alice has helped me to see things and myself much more clearly.

Alice provides a calm, safe space from your very first session. While actively listening Alice gently but pragmatically probes and asks questions that really help to get to the root of how you are feeling and experiencing the world. Would highly recommend working with Alice.
