Orla has helped me in untangling the complex knots and layers of my emotions. She guided me to dive deep down into the root causes of why I feel or act a certain way which made me understand myself more. This has helped me in getting to a better state. She has been incredible in guiding me through it, listening to me, providing me with different outlets and exercises (such as worksheets and breathing techniques).

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.
