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.

Alev has been amazing. Helping me to identify what is blocking me and offering new perspectives to move forward with issues that I’ve been coping with rather than addressing. With novel and helpful approaches I’d never have tried or used before Alex has helped me face my challenges and develop as a person. Thank you!

Alev is focussed on my concerns and provides practical help and training as well as being a therepeutic listener.

Reviewed May 2023

Alev has been the first psychotherapist I ever worked with, and I consider myself lucky. She created immediately an environment where I felt welcome and free to express myself in the most open way possible. After just a couple of sessions she could already gently guide me in the exploration of parts of me and my history that deserved a certain type of attention. She was also able to give me practical advices to deal with peaks of anxiety I was dealing with. I would recommend Alev to anyone, she'll listen with an open mind and heart and help you find the tools you need to get better.
