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 feel incredibly fortunate to have Wendy as my therapist. She is exceptionally kind and understanding, and her patience creates a safe space where I can truly open up. Wendy is not only an excellent listener but also a highly professional therapist. She has guided me in seeing myself more clearly and helped me reconnect with positive feelings I had forgotten. Her advice has been invaluable, and my life has significantly improved with her support. Thank you so much, Wendy. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist.
Wendy is fantastic, always listens and gives great advice in a careful, considered way. It’s also light and allows it to be a nice experience with no pressure or pushiness. I’d highly recommend
