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.

Avril is a a light on a dark day. As someone who was hesitant about online counselling she has been more than I could have wished for
She is very experienced and have a friendly way of handling the matter.
Avril Golding is one of the best therapists I have worked with, after working with many. The reason is that after I share my struggles, Avril demonstrates she fully listens and understands by asking me the perfect questions to help me reflect, understand my issue and make changes. For me, one of the most important things a therapist can do than ask the right question, and Avril always does. After my question is asked and answered, Avril helps me understand why I am facing the struggles I do, what underlying false beliefs I may be holding onto and how to reframe those beliefs. She always leaves me with a simple activity or a thought to reflect on throughout the week to attempt between sessions, which has helped me tremendously each time, She has greatly helped me learn at a greater depth who I am authentically, and what it is I truly want out of life now vs what I thought I wanted out of life. Avril demonstrates she truly cares and has helped me make big changes for the better in my life in the way I perceive and react to my struggles.
I really enjoyed my time with Avril. She is a wonderful active listener and had a wonderfully practical approach to advising me. I feel so much better after our interactions and feel it was an incredible positive experience all round. I would highly recommend her.
Avril is compassionate and she just "gets it"....She's Jewish and knows a lot about Israel...the other therapists whom I tried, a few weeks ago, know nothing about Israel...the war, Judaism...therfore, they really did not help me at all..Avril is amazing...I'm so grateful to know her
