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.

great service
Craig is one of the best therapists I could have asked for. Very understanding and kind in what he says. It was my first time into therapy so, I was a bit nervous. But Craig made it really easy for me to open up and share my thoughts. Thank you Better help for the connect and providing a seamless interface for the sessions.
Craig listened and gave some great suggestions to help me feel better about myself. I've been going through some tough times and he has made everything clearer and less muddied. Thank you Craig!
amazing support, gives me space to explore and also (figuratively) holds my hand through tough conversations
A really understanding and thoughtful person who makes you feel as if the weight on your shoulders has been dropped. A very very effective and helpful therapist. Would recommend to anyone
He makes me realise my biggest problems and how to fix them :)
Although I recently started therapy with Craig, it’s already been proven super useful. He is a great listener and offers help in such a diversity of ways that I do believe many different people can benefit from therapy with him. I’ve been really satisfied so far with his attention to detail and overall kindness and compassion.
Craig’s support has been life-changing. He has helped me work through a series of difficult issues and ultimately guided me onto a better path in life. I’m hugely grateful for his professionalism, warmth, humour, care and guidance. Craig is a star.
Craig is very helpful and supportive
I had a really triggering event and needed support urgently. Craig was so accommodating and supportive, the conversation we had calmed me so much ans allowed me to explore the problem and feel validated in my feelings. If not for that conversation I may have done something embarassing or regretful
10 out of 10
Craig has been easy for me to talk to and be open with. We are still exploring and therapy has only just started. But would highly recommend Craig.
I knew I needed therapy, but working with Craig made me feel like I wanted it, too. He's been warm and patient and insightful. I'd recommend him to anyone without reservation.
