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.

After a previously negative experience of therapy, working with Samantha has been a pleasant surprise. I feel very safe and heard, and find myself able to acknowledge issues that I hadn't even acknowledged to myself before. This feels like a real gift to myself to have this time with Sam, feeling fully supported, as I unravel some long held beliefs that have been holding me back from fulfilling my true potential in life and love. Highly recommend.
Really helpful. Made me feel at ease from the start and clear actions given at the end of the session
I have found Samantha to be very attuned to what my concerns are. She has a very helpful way of getting me to examine what is bothering me and look at ways of resolving this.
Sam is amazing, I really appreciate her way of looking at things. Even when I’m feeling ok I come out of a session with Sam and feel like a weight is lifted off of my shoulders. A great help for my mental cloud.
