My experience with Elroy has been great. He’s taught me several practical techniques that have really helped to deal with anxiety in the moment. Beyond these practical techniques, Elroy has always been empathetic and allowed me the space to talk about emotional issues more comfortably. Through this, Elroy has helped me to identify ways to improve communication with those close to me, and to challenge negative thoughts of myself. Whilst I have much to improve on, I have no doubt that therapy with Elroy has substantially improved my mental health.

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.

Elroy is fantastic, he understands my issues, he is empathetic and really gets me. He has a multitude of tips and I am really excited to continue my therapy journey with him
He is a very nice person and I respect him because I feel respect from him for my viewpoints.
I have found my sessions really useful, we have worked through things at my pace and I have learnt some useful tools to help me outside of our sessions. I have been given a safe space to feel comfortable to discuss issues and help to move past them
Does everything a good therapist would do. Challenges your thoughts, actions, and helps to reprogram your brain to deal with overwhelming or stressful situations. Made me more comfortable for my future plans and prospects.
