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.

Shirin is amazing. She calms my soul and is very soft spoken. I felt comfortable to share and left the session feeling good. For any young women who want a safe space and someone who will understand them please go with her. I’m sure young men will benefit as well. I’m only emphasising young women as that’s what I am and she’s been able to help me immensely.

Shirin Latif is the best therapist I could every ask for and has helped me out in so many different ways and I don’t know what I would do without her.

Shirin is amazing. She has helped me soo much. She is great with articulating words to suit the individual and her expertise in her craft is almost 2nd to none. Iv been through a lot of therapists and psychotherapists and she is the best (for me anyway).

"Shirin has been nothing less than wonderful. She is compassionate and understanding. She listens with a heart that genuinely cares. In our sessions, I always feel heard and totally at ease. She always provides new ways of looking at my problems and offers practical advice on how to deal/cope with them. With her, I know I'm in a safe space where my feelings are always acknowledged and validated.

Shirin provides a calm, safe and non-judgemental environment where you feel comfortable to discuss your sensitive concerns. Shirin takes in the information you say and relays it back to you, demonstrating full attention to the topic and potential hidden messages that haven’t been stated. I am really enjoying my sessions where I am starting to truly begin to understand myself.
