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.

Kamala has been such a positive presence. I feel listened to and supported as I unravel the emotions that weight me down. Truly a spectacular therapist!
Kamala is without a doubt an amazing therapist. Her support truly makes an immense difference in my life.
Kamala is great. I highly recommend her
Very interested and engaged, very responsive and available. A therapist you can genuinely enjoy talking to, who helps you keep on track.
Kamala listens intently. And by doing so, she helps me find insights into my behaviours and past while providing me with actionable plans and habits geared towards my goals and hopes. She provided me with useful tools and exercises while leaving space for deep discussion and exploration. She is a great guidance and supporter.
Ive only had a few sessions but I feel an improvement in my state of mind already. Kamala is very communicative, sending messages and reaching out even in between sessions. She has mastered her listening skills and as a result asks just the right questions which spark deep introspection and openess to new ways of looking at and resolving issues. I feel comfortable talking to her, like she's a good friend. Like a great therapist. I Highly reccommend her.
After just one session with Kamala I felt at ease and I was confident that she was going to be able to help me. She listens intently, and processes what I have said before responding, and asks pointed questions to try to get to the core issue. We have a schedule, but she has told me that I can contact her whenever I feel I need to, and I have done just that and she always responds in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Kamala to anyone who is seeking help with personal issues.
