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.

I’ve been working with Gemma for a few weeks and for the first time in a long time I feel like I’m not doing this alone. She listens during our sessions and sends me exercises and checks in after sessions. I feel like I can really open up to her.
I have been working with Gemma for the past few months and she has helped me and supported me along this jouney so beautifully. I cannot recommend her enough x
I clicked with Gemma right away! I really feel like she fully understands what I’m feeling and what I’m trying to say. I’m very grateful.
