Having not had therapy before, I didn’t know what to expect. I feel that I was matched well with Johanna & that I am able to open up to her with her gentle guidance & expertise, she is easy to talk to and non judgmental. I would recommend Johanna as a therapist.

I am so grateful that I found Johanna. She is someone who I truly truly feel listens to me and doesn’t judge me in any way shape or form. I have had 3 sessions so far and even in such a short time she has given me so much hope that maybe everything will be ok.

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.

Johanna has been very helpful and has helped me overcome an issue at work that had a big impact on my life. She is a great listener, gives fantastic advice and our sessions are always lovely, I can only recommend her!
Johanna is a very patient therapist who has been excellent for me and has helped me from feeling down or worrying about past trauma or bad experiences I’ve had
I have had 4 sessions with Johanna and she has been able to understand my mindset very accurately. The exercises that she has recommended me have also helped a lot outside of therapy. I have had a very good experience with Johanna!
Speaking with Johanna these last few weeks has been incredibly useful and really helped me to work through some of the difficult emotions I've had around grief and trauma. She's very good at asking the right questions and giving space for me to delve into topics that are difficult for me to put into words. Her analysis of how I'm feeling and why has helped me to process and understand the way I'm feeling and has been very beneficial in terms of recovery. I can't recommend Johanna enough.
