Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have Wendy as my therapist. She is exceptionally kind and understanding, and her patience creates a safe space where I can truly open up. Wendy is not only an excellent listener but also a highly professional therapist. She has guided me in seeing myself more clearly and helped me reconnect with positive feelings I had forgotten. Her advice has been invaluable, and my life has significantly improved with her support. Thank you so much, Wendy. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist.
Wendy is fantastic, always listens and gives great advice in a careful, considered way. It’s also light and allows it to be a nice experience with no pressure or pushiness. I’d highly recommend
