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.

Been incredibly helpful in my journey to feel better and supported during a difficult time. Really turned it around for me and finally on the right path again. Takes her job very seriously. Very grateful!
Joanna is a fantastic therapist who is always kind, understanding and listens to everything you say. She will let you lead the conversations about whatever is on your mind and then offers useful strategies and helpful ideas to support you in the future. I’ve learnt a lot. Thank you, Jo!
Wonderful person, listerner, and of great help. Highly recommend!
