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:
Ruth is an amazingly kind person who has patiently work with me for the past few months. Her support and guidance has help me immensely.
Ruth is fantastic. Great listener and full of fantastic advice.
Ruth has been invaluable in helping me to understand and work through a very challenging and sudden change to my personal life. She is very approachable and flexible in our sessions and she has really helped me to reframe and encourage different ways of thinking. I don’t think I’d be where I now am in my journey of healing without our sessions.
Ruth is my favourite therapist I’ve seen in years. I’m a self-aware person with solo practices in place (like a robust journaling regime, and meditation) to take care of my mental health, yet I still leave with perspective after every session that strikes me as brand new insights I wasn’t reaching on my own. Highly recommend her!
Ruth has been fantastic. I had a big relationship decision and life decision to make regarding a house. Ruth really understood my needs/concerns and helped me get to where I needed to to be happy.
I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone seeking help and understanding through counselling. Ruth was extremely helpful throughout my sessions, always being supportive and empathetic, yet professional. I have really learnt a lot from our sessions together and continue to be grateful with the boundaries she help me put in place in my life. Thank you Ruth!
