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.

Gillian is one of the most empathetic persons I met. She listens to you with her brain but also hearth, and she successfully summarises your situation from different angels giving you a clear perspective of the problem. Personally, I feel much less anxiety since working with her, and my resilience increased. I can only say good about her and highly recommended.

Gillian is highly empathetic therapist who listens actively and guides towards self-discovery. During sessions I feel safe to express my feelings and thoughts. She helps me navigate through my emotions and uses her expertise to aid me in understanding myself better. Gillian’s compassion, expertise, and empathy are very valuable traits for someone like me who comes from a dysfunctional background. She is a great therapist for anyone who wants to make positive changes in their lives through the process of self-discovery supported by compassionate guidance.

Gillian has been a sweetheart from the start. She is kind and attentive, listens and reciprocates. It feels like a good conversation rather than what could be described as a medical/mental need and I appreciate that the sessions do not feel textbook and like there is something to be fixed but rather a hand to help you improve.
