Recent reviews
I've been working with Geraldine for several months and she has been a fantastic contribution to my general wellbeing, with her insightful understanding of behaviour and emotions. Her sensitivity towards entering deeper subjects, and doing so at the right time and speed for me, has made it surprisingly easy to incorporate the therapy into my daily life without fear of disrupting my rhythm, whilst making progress on my areas of concern. I would recommend Geraldine to anyone, she is absolutely the person I think everyone should have in their life.

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.
