I’ve never done therapy before and didn’t know what to expect. I certainly didn’t expect it to be so easy talking to someone I’d just met on a video chat, or for those conversations to dramatically improve my perspective on my situation. Emmanuel is a great person, and a great therapist. It was natural talking to him without judgment and he was insightful without pushing. Thank you for your time and help
More about Emmanuel
- 6 years' experience

- AASW
I am credentialed in Australia with over 5 years of professional experience community work, mental health, disability, and child protection. My educational background includes studies in philosophy, religion, and social work completed in 2011, 2015, and 2018, respectively. I have helped many clients with challenges like addictions, parenting, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, anxiety, and depression. In my work, I follow a humanistic approach, focusing on the individual's unique experiences, strengths, and potential for growth. I strive to create a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings. Taking that first step to begin therapy can be scary, and I want to commend you for your bravery in seeking help!

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.
