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 couldn’t recommend Nicola enough. This is the first time I’ve ever spoken to a therapist and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I feel like talking to Nicola has helped me set achievable goals for self-improvement and help me put my finger on ways that I can improve my own wellbeing.
