I only had a few sessions with Julie but she's been amazing and so helpful, I already feel the difference our sessions make. She has a lot of experience and she deals really well with heavy topics. Talking through difficulties is hard but I always feel better after our sessions. She makes therapy feel so much easier than I thought it would be, I'm grateful for her support.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

A really good therapist who helped me through a really tough time/decision in my life. Always there to listen and acts as a great mirror to make you think about how you really feel about situations.

Julie is a lovely and caring therapist. She is a brilliant listener and has massively helped me through a challenging period in my life! She took the time to get to know me properly and listen to all my challenges. I gained so much clarity through talking things through and gained new perspectives from Julie which made a huge difference to the way I view myself and events in my life. A huge thank you xxx

Julie has been a great help, we have only had a couple session but she has given me support and mostly listened to me. I feel comfortable with her and even though my sessions are painful, after I feel a lot less lighter. I would highly recommend her.
