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.

Lydia is compassionate encouraging and helps explore feelings and emotions she’s a beautiful soul
She’s fantastic
Thank you so much Lydia for your kindness and compassion during our sessions. It's been great to discuss my chronic pain and feelings with such an engaging, thoughtful and resourceful therapist. I highly recommend Lydia and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with her. She provided me with very helpful suggestions and ways to reframe my perspectives. She also checked in with me between sessions to see how I was getting on with my homework. Highly recommend.
Lydia has supported and helped me understand my tendencies and given me tools to continually improve myself. She listens and gives non-judgmental feedback. I would recommend this service and her to anyone needing support.
Lydia is approachable and productive! I struggle to open up with people but she’s so open but constructive and I can’t rate her enough to her patience kindness and non judge mental approach. Such an encouraging personality! She’s exactly what’s needed when feeling so vulnerable
Very caring and reliable therapist. I love how she checks in to see how you’re doing. She gives realistic solutions and helps you figure out next steps in tackling challenges.
Attentive therapist that always tries to look deeper
