Carole is absolutely brilliant. Having had various disappointing experiences with therapy over the years, I had all but given up. From the first session I knew she was the right therapist for me. She immediately made me feel comfortable, asked the right questions, made constructive and insightful observations and treated issues that felt heavy, complex and shameful with ease and clarity. She's obviously an expert in her field and an exemplary professional. Most importantly, she makes me feel like I'm in safe, reliable hands and that for the first time I can take lasting, positive steps with her help. I'm so grateful to have found a therapist I can trust.

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.
