I was skeptical at first in having a counsellor. However on the initial meeting, it was like she knew me. Everything she said rang true. Shes down to earth and puts knowledge based evidence in to practice.

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.

Overall rating:
Sharon is very supportive.
I was skeptical at first in having a counsellor. However on the initial meeting, it was like she knew me. Everything she said rang true. Shes down to earth and puts knowledge based evidence in to practice.
Sharon gives constructive suggestions and helps me set achievable goals to mark my progress. She is sensitive and considerate about my limitations and yet helps to push me just far enough to stretch my boundaries in healthy ways.
Sharon is a kind and understanding therapist, who is very experienced. She is proactive, perceptive and picked up on some issues I’d not spotted in myself. She’s really helped me pull the puzzle pieces together and gently challenged me to reframe negative thoughts. Thank you, Sharon.
Sharon is understanding, open and gentle with their guidance. I recommend her for anyone who is LGBTGI+ identifying and needs support.
