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.

It can be daunting showing ones vulnerability earnestly. Ian listens with a compassionate ear and truly provides a safe space for discussion and reflection. I'm glad I sought help, his guidance has been a tremendous support in my healing journey.
Attentive, direct, and very understanding. Great commutator! Exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this therapist.
I was never one for therapy, until I met Ian. He made it less of a clinical thing and more of a conversation. I highly recommend to anyone who is willing to give therapy a try.
All is good with him
Ian has been incredibly patient with me and been an amazing sound board. My first therapist and I did not mesh well so it was refreshing to turn a new leaf and keep pushing towards growth and healing. Ian constantly checks in throughout the week over messages which I greatly appreciate. From surface level conversations to deep diving, Ian has been supportive and an amazing listener. He has helped me to challenger my current perspectives and beliefs in order to have more clarity, confidence, and peace in a stress free environment. Ian cares a lot about his clients and it is apparent that he loves doing it.
Fantastic, thank you
Ian is amazing. I have only had a few sessions with him and he listens to my concerns and validates them❤️
