It is my first time doing therapy, so I don't always know how it works and Nicola has been kind to guide me through it. She listens with no judgement and I feel safe to open up to her.

My experience with Nicola Kassam was such a lovely experience especially since I have shied-away from therapy after a previously horrendous experience with a male therapist years earlier. Nicola was sweet, kind, caring, a wonderful listener, and she always helped me look at things from a different perspective, or point of view that I maybe hadn’t considered. She challenged my way of thinking and how I viewed scenarios but always in a kind and supportive, gentle way. I feel transformed and healed in a lot of areas of my life that desperately needed help after several months of therapy with Nicola. I would recommend her to anyone. She is fantastic, kind, and very helpful in the healing process. Can’t say enough good things about my experience or Nicola!

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.
