My therapist is a good listener and allows me to talk and open up when I’m ready. She makes me feel like I’m in a safe space and not judged in any way. She makes me feel like I should not be ashamed about things that has happened to me.

Recent reviews
I have only had two sessions with Carlene so far, but she has been incredibly supportive. I have felt heard and listened to, and safe enough to cry which is really rare for me. I can just tell in her tone of voice and the things she says that she really has a deep background knowledge, and is a very compassionate person.

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.
