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.

My therapist reads me very well through active listening and productive input. I realise that maybe sounds like jargon to some but it really makes such a difference to my life.
I really enjoy my sessions with Emma, I feel she listens and pushes me to think in way that are not normal for me which allow me to improve myself and my relationships with people and habits I have. She’s so funny too which makes it easier for me to talk to her as I find her ways of thinking similar to mine. I can only thank her so much for all she has helped me with so far.
Therapy with Emma is honestly a game changer for me. I’ve been looking for a therapist who fit my style of communication and growth for a long time. Emma has a great ability to talk to you like a friend making you feel safe and secure in the environment but also giving great techniques and reaffirming support. I always look forward to my sessions with Emma, she gives the best reassurance and really makes me feel heard and seen. She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had and I recommend her very strongly
