About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

Karen is an amazing therapist, she is empathetic and offers a safe space to explore and reflect on feeling. It took me time finding the right therapist that I felt could support my therapeutic needs and I am pleased to have found Karen. I'm looking forward to continuing working with Karen. She also offers late evening appointments which suit my lifestyle, overall she provides an excellent service and would recommend her to others.

Karen is great at listening, understanding and empathising with you. She offers a calm, personable approach in her therapy, making you feel comfortable and open to sharing, helping you see how or why you may be feeling a certain way.

Reviewed September 2023

I feel like every person needs a Karen and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her work style makes her sessions feel like a partnership and you to both work through the troubles you’ve faced. As a result there have been some real eye openers! She is warm, calm, articulate and effective. Clearly highly skilled at what she does.

Reviewed July 2023

I believe better help has help me gained more confidence to speak for myself. Karen has also helped me with different communication variations as I struggle to talk to those who are quite opinionated based on everyday things. Thank you so much Karen.
