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.

best therapist ever
Sam is utterly brilliant! I have had many therapists over the years but no one has quite got the results out of me like Sam has and I cannot thank her enough. Highly recommend!
Working with Samantha as my therapist for the last few months have been so helpful for me in dealing with anxiety and overwhelming emotions, she seems to always know the right questions to ask, and have a really thought through balance between professionalism and casual talk. She never minds me going of on my own trains of thought, and brilliantly picks up on small details in what i'm trying to say in our sessions. I would highly recommend Samantha!
A sensitive and wise person. Listens well, kind and thoughtful. Lucky me!!
Samantha was professional and kind. I enjoyed our session. She was also great at taking notes to reflect on the session.
Very happy they matched me with Samantha. I definitely needed someone who was no nonsense and guide me throughout the process.
Has helped me so much and has done the impossible, which is to gain my trust and allow myself to be seen, through patience and kindness. I am very grateful.
An understanding person, doesn't un-necessarily push the direction of conversation, she lets you get your feelings out in the open and doesn't mind if you go on tangents.
Samantha, has been wonderful to work alongside with on this journey. She has offered a welcoming space, a space where you are invited to ground yourself and develop your skills. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone who is willing to put in the work and live their lives.
Engaging, Listening to my problems, understanding and still challenging my beliefs so I can move forward/on
After talking with my psychologist for a few sessions, I started to feel calm. I started to focus on myself rather other people. It’s really good talking with professionals because they can go deep and help you understand the mean reasons behind your actions.
I just can’t say enough how much of help and support she’s been..i started therapy three weeks ago..and everyday..we unlock a new mystery within me..getting to know myself..and my abilities ..talking to someone that understands me and listens to me was a very refreshing..i can’t recommend her enough ❤️
