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.

Karen is an amazing therapist, she is empathetic and offers a safe space to explore and reflect on feeling. It took me time finding the right therapist that I felt could support my therapeutic needs and I am pleased to have found Karen. I'm looking forward to continuing working with Karen. She also offers late evening appointments which suit my lifestyle, overall she provides an excellent service and would recommend her to others.

Karen is great at listening, understanding and empathising with you. She offers a calm, personable approach in her therapy, making you feel comfortable and open to sharing, helping you see how or why you may be feeling a certain way.

Reviewed September 2023

I feel like every person needs a Karen and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her work style makes her sessions feel like a partnership and you to both work through the troubles you’ve faced. As a result there have been some real eye openers! She is warm, calm, articulate and effective. Clearly highly skilled at what she does.

Reviewed July 2023

I believe better help has help me gained more confidence to speak for myself. Karen has also helped me with different communication variations as I struggle to talk to those who are quite opinionated based on everyday things. Thank you so much Karen.
