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.

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. I want to thank Alice for all she’s helped me realize within myself. A truly special therapist and person

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.
