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 has been so supportive of me and genuinely cares about her clients. She always knows exactly what to say or ask and knows how to encourage me to do the work on my own. She is so easy to talk to, with no judgement whatsoever. I have noticed such a drastic difference in my mindset and mental state since first starting with her a couple of months ago.
Gill has been an amazing addition in my life, I always come away from our weekly sessions feeling a little lighter. She is super understanding and I feel so safe opening up to her. She has helped me make a lot of progress in my journey with therapy and my mental health:)
Gill has been a wonderful therapist. She is kind and considerate, and I feel that I can trust her with my deepest darkest thoughts. She always makes me consider things from a different perspective. The best decision I've ever made!
Gillian is an incredibly compassionate and intelligent therapist, who is very easy to build trust with. Grateful to have Gillian supporting me and helping me on my therapy journey!
I am very pleased I have been working with Gillian. She is everything I would expect of a therapist but she is also very giving of herself, caring and also funny! I would trust her with everything I tell her and thoroughly recommend her.
