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.

He is very attentive, helpful and kind. He has helped me greatly and would recommend him to anyone who wants active listening and support in tougher times!
Peter and I are still developing a relationship. However, he is professional, punctual, positive, engaging, affirming, and a great listener. We've only met a couple times. I am looking to get to know him as we continue working together.
Peter is great at understanding complex relationship issues and providing sound advice and mechanisms to tackle conflict. Would recommend to anyone.
