Sarah is really empathetic but practical too Thank you Sarah

Reviewed November 2023

Working with Sarah Cookson has been incredibly life changing for me. It was the first time I was following therapy services, and I was a bit anxious at first. Sarah made it easy for me to talk, I felt supported but also empowered to change some visions that I had and that were not helping me with my mental health. There was a lot of kindness, but always with professionalism, and I would definitely recommend Sarah Cookson as a therapist !

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.
