I recently had a session with Waverley Young and was deeply impressed by his approach and expertise. From the start, he created a safe and supportive environment, allowing me to speak openly and honestly about my fears and worries. Waverley guided me thoughtfully, asking insightful questions that helped me connect past experiences and childhood events to the anxiety and depression I’m currently facing. His ability to dig deep into underlying traumas while remaining empathetic and understanding made the session incredibly valuable. I left with a renewed sense of awareness and a clearer path forward in my healing journey. Highly recommend his guidance for anyone seeking meaningful emotional and psychological support.

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.

Very comforting
Waverley is a caring and compassionate man. We had some good conversations which felt very reciprocal and open with space. I appreciated his presence and ability to also give direction where needed.
Waverley is one of a kind! A true human being with a lot of light to share. It was crucial for my self development and I can't thank him enough for his super human approach. He was extremely compassionate and really good listener. I felt a lot of warmth from him.
Before my conversation with Waverley Young, I had never experienced therapy. I’m incredibly grateful to him for listening and helping me recognize what I had been missing. He is exceptionally skilled at what he does, and I’m sure that anyone who has had a session with him feels the same way.
