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.

Best therapist I’ve had. It really makes a difference when the person can not only sympathise with ADHD struggles but also empathise because they have it themselves. My comfort person, genuinely.
a good listener, friendly and approachable couldn’t be happier with my sessions and my life since
Phoebe is an amazing therapist! They always listen and never judge, make suggestions about how I can think about things in different ways, and really help me get through the week. Phoebe has made a real difference to my life!
Phoebe is very kind and understanding, she is very knowledgeable and I really appreciate the way she challenges some of my perceptions.
