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.

I have been speaking with Sharon for 4 weeks now and I love how gentle and calm she is. At the same time she is expressive and really helps to open me up. She gives you space to talk but if you can’t talk she speaks and reassures you. She is wonderful and I am really enjoying working with her.
A fantastic therapist. I've been having sessions with Sharon for 5weeks now, and we've made some fantastic break-throughs. She takes time to really listen to me and remembers all that I tell her. She's brilliant at asking the right questions to connect the threads whilst giving me constant and consistent support and guidance. This has truely been an eye-opening, yet exciting journey. Highly reccomend!
Sharon has been very supportive and helpful in our sessions so far. I am very happy with her as my therapist
Really kind, soft natured, understanding and there for you along your difficult path of recovery.
