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.

Louise has been amazing from the start. When I am struggling to describe my situation and feelings - Louise is able to instantly understand me and knows what to say. I am so glad that I found this app and been assigned to Louise - it’s well worth the money.
Louise has been so understanding and helpful over the past month I’ve been working with her. I feel very relaxed and open to discussing everything that is happening in my life currently, along with the upcoming changes. I would highly recommend Louise!
She is amazing to talk to and always finds a way to weave the conversation points into you discussion helping you come to the realisation of what's happened and what to do next its amazing. My time spent with her always feels useful.
I have been going through the most difficult time in my life the last few months, my husband has had a personality change and development a lot of problems and I had been so stressed and anxious before I reached out for help from better help and was matched with Louise. She has been instrumental in me getting to a turning point, working on how to put my own mental well-being as a priority and helping me to get a better understanding of my repressed emotions. I have already noticed an improvement in my stress and anxiety after only 3 sessions with Louise. She knows how to ask just the right questions and lead me to make realisations that I had been niggling under the surface for a long time. I’m so appreciative of all of her help and support.
I find Louise listens and understands before offering advice and support. I look forward to the session.
Ive only had one telephone session but so far Louise has been supportive and understanding. She is helping me to understand myself better and leading me to understand how i can make better choices and decisions.
So far it has been great working with Louise. I had one therapist before and the difference I see is that Louise truly listens and “gets” me. I have even got several friends and family to be interested in therapy based on how positively I have been speaking about my experience with her. I’m looking forward to continuing working with her!
Very professional, kind and a very patient listener
Louise is a fantastic therapist who listens and understands your need. She listens intently and remembers the smallest details. She was able to break down what I was going through, what I went through in a way that I was able to process it. She was very supportive and I highly recommend her when choosing a therapist
She has been incredibly insightful and helpful. It was both delightful and encouraging to chat with her. She strikes a great balance between being supportive while challenging my thought processes and I could not have found a better match.
