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.

She has been amazing and even though it’s only been a few sessions, I’m feeling so hopeful about the future
Since starting my sessions with Debbie I've noticed a change in me.. for the better.. even just as a person to chat to she is a lovely person.. and her insights and that are very helpful.. I gave a ways to go in therapy I think but I definitely feel it's heading in the right direction and my therapist has a lot to do with that. With Debbie I feel comfortable more than engine else I've tried therapy with and I'm going with the flow
Deborah has been extremely helpful & within our short time of therapy has given me alot of pointers as well as reading material in regards to my situation. I am grateful
