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.

Emma was able to tune in to what I needed from the start. She is compassionate, kind and I am glad our paths crossed.
Emma is so kind understanding and I have gained clarity and still working with Emma, I would highly recommend Emma to anybody needing reassurance and help in any aspect of their lives.
Listens, makes very useful suggestions and makes me feel hopeful ☺️
I have had 3 sessions with Emma and they have improved the way I look on my worries and how I handle challenging situations. I feel there's a lot more to work on but having Emma on my team brings optimism about both the process and the outcome. Apart from being a game-changer Emma is also professional, punctual, resourceful ,kind and lovely to speak to. Thank you, Emma.
Emma gives me the space to discuss my thoughts and feelings without judgement and without worry. She's helped me to feel like my feelings are valid but also to begin to understand the actions of those around me. She is kind and thoughtful and she's offered me practical things to do when I am feeling anxious.
Emma is a lovely person with a very empathetic nature, a great listener, and I felt comfortable being myself, unjudged and present.
Emma creates a safe environment which makes it easy to open up. She is definitely a good and attentive listener. We are however still at the beginning of our journey. Nevertheless she is a really friendly and nice person.
Kind and smart
Emma is a good listener and gives you advice what’s needed for you. And she is considerate.
Emma has been such a massive help in my experience. This is something I haven’t done before and she made me feel really comfortable and I felt like we have known each other a long time after just a few sessions. I cant believe how much I have been able to reflect on my issues in our sessions and I have been able to achieve a more positive way of looking at my situation in such a short time with Emma.
Emma is lovely and warm. Gives one a real sense of safety and security. One also gets the sense that she really cares about you and reflects on the sessions even outside of session times. Emma is extremely professional in her communications and also responds in a timely fashion. I couldn't recommend Emma highly enough.
Emma has been really supportive and helpful. I really appreciate her insights and help.
Really great at listening and offering insight. Super sweet and definitely recommend! She knows a lot and is definitely an expert in her field.
