About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Joanne IS THE BEST

Reviewed September 2024

The first therapist I matched with did not really make me feel welcome so I was sceptical. Then Joanne came along. Her listening, empathy and real sensitivity help me sort some strong emotions out in a very simple and controlled manner.

Reviewed April 2024

I have been talk with Joanne for about a month now and have been able to talk with her openly and easily. She has given me ways of coping and reflecting that has assisted me to approach everyday challenges with calmness. I look forward to continue my journey with her

Reviewed November 2023

Joanne have been very insightful, understanding, respectful and reassuring. It has not been easy discussing difficult conversations but Joanne has always listened and validated me and my concerns. Would definitely recommend and would use Joanne as my therapist again in the future.

Reviewed November 2023

Have recently started working with Jo and have found her to be extremely empathetic and reflective. She is particularly reflective about what might be going on for other people in my life - as someone with Autism I do find this particularly difficult, but the questions she poses are helping me to become a more reflective thinker. If you want a therapist who will validate you and listen to your story without judgement Jo is certainly the therapist for you.

Reviewed July 2023

We have only had a video and phone session, and texted for a week or two, but so far this has been very helpful. I am new to being an adult, but Joanne is the first helpful therapist I have ever had (which says a lot about child therapists). Would recommend, and have recommended!
