After muddling through problems on my own for some time I finally decided “enough” and signed up to BetterHelp who allocated Joanna as my therapist. My weekly sessions with Joanna have supported me in living a much for fulfilling life, she really helps me get to the root of what matters to me and provides excellent advice when it comes to navigating any challenges I might face. I’m really grateful for the support I receive from her.

Jo listens so attentively and takes her time to piece together the scraps of one's life to help one find solutions to their issues. She is very easy to talk to and you feel she cares. She also takes extra time after the session to post useful resources. I'd highly recommend her

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.
