Nicola has been very understanding and patient during our video sessions and did not make me feel shamed or judged with some deeply private things mentioned. She checks in regularly with me via messaging, it's nice to know what she's taking proactive action that way.

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.

Nicola has been very understanding and patient during our video sessions and did not make me feel shamed or judged with some deeply private things mentioned. She checks in regularly with me via messaging, it's nice to know what she's taking proactive action that way.
It is my first time using better help, but I have found it really easy to use. Nicola messaged me to see how I was doing even before we had our initial chat which I thought was really thoughtful and impressive. I have only had one session with her but found she really listened to everything I said and was empathetic. She’s also checked in with me throughout the week which was a lovely surprise and has made me feel well supported. I look forward to more sessions with her.
