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.

Lisa listens to me and offers advice if i feel up for it or really just need someone to listen. Shes open minded and active in our sessions and asks follow up questions to check up with how im doing. She makes me feel confident in my recovery no matter how long it may take or if i falter here and there. Lisa is truly a great therapist and im glad i matched with her on BetterHelp.

I find Lisa to be a calm, kind and insightful therapist. She listens well and allows me to come to my own conclusions, with good reflection and a small amount of prompting so that I seem to feel empowered to make positive changes. I feel this is a very skilled approach

Lisa has been absolutely fantastic helping me navigate and get to the root cause of my anxiety. She is always there whenever I need her and is incredibly helpful in helping me rationalise. Lisa’s support and guidance has helped me come on leaps and bounds over the last few weeks and I cannot thank her enough. She is very kind, caring and compassionate and really listens. I feel so grateful for where I’ve gotten to with the help of Lisa. I couldn’t recommend her enough

Lisa's approach to therapy is compassionate and understanding, focused on the problems that have brought me to therapy in the first place. She made me feel heard and safe to discuss my issues while also challenging me to confront them.

Lisa is very simply ‘Born to do this’. I have been struggling with some very complex issues but no matter how badly I’m struggling that day, I always leave my session with Lisa feeling better and with some more optimism for the future. Lisa is kind and compassionate and I always feel heard in our sessions. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone.

Nice friendly person.

Reviewed March 2023

When I have therapy with Lisa, I feel heard, understood and in a safe environment. She offers me many alternative solutions to my problem with a variety of skills and strategies. Moreover, all her guidance is personalized to my own needs (which has not been the case with my previous therapists). Her presence is so sweet and warmth. Finally, the most important thing for me is that I can rely on her and trust her with anything. She has always been there for me regardless of the time difference. For the first time in a long time, I am not afraid to ask for help and I am excited to go to therapy.

Reviewed April 2023

Lisa has been a great therapist, always on hand and providing advice and guidance when needed. I would be happy to work with her again.

Reviewed January 2023

Lisa has been supportive, empathetic and helpful. She responds in a timely manner. She is a good listener and seems to make sense out of my mess. She is kind attentive and she has a good sense of humor. I trust her and look forward both to her replies on my texts and our forthcoming session.

Reviewed January 2023

Lisa's been so supportive and encouraging all throughout our sessions and she gives out a positive and upbeat vibe as a person. I loved talking to her about my thoughts and she's always actively listening. Definitely a wondeful therapist.
