My experience with Elroy has been great. He’s taught me several practical techniques that have really helped to deal with anxiety in the moment. Beyond these practical techniques, Elroy has always been empathetic and allowed me the space to talk about emotional issues more comfortably. Through this, Elroy has helped me to identify ways to improve communication with those close to me, and to challenge negative thoughts of myself. Whilst I have much to improve on, I have no doubt that therapy with Elroy has substantially improved my mental health.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Elroy is fantastic, he understands my issues, he is empathetic and really gets me. He has a multitude of tips and I am really excited to continue my therapy journey with him
He is a very nice person and I respect him because I feel respect from him for my viewpoints.
I have found my sessions really useful, we have worked through things at my pace and I have learnt some useful tools to help me outside of our sessions. I have been given a safe space to feel comfortable to discuss issues and help to move past them
Does everything a good therapist would do. Challenges your thoughts, actions, and helps to reprogram your brain to deal with overwhelming or stressful situations. Made me more comfortable for my future plans and prospects.
