I also have experience working with motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.

Duncan listens well and helps me see my options
Duncan Shaw has helped me identify my boundary issues in my relationships with my family, friends and work life. He has also helped me work on finding a work life balance. His no nonsense approach is exactly what I need. Better Help has also removed the barrier to care that was keeping me from seeking help, I so appreciate this platform.
I had one session with him but it was informative and learned some things I didnt know. He gave me some things to think about as well as research. I am glad for his insight.
Mr. Shaw helped me to begin a journey I needed to take but was reluctant to embark upon. His manner and advice are of the highest quality.
Very attentive to my concerns and helpful in his advise.
Duncan has been a great deal of help, he’s been supportive and available for what I have needed I strongly recommend him
He has become a Good friend and mentor.
Duncan has been such a great support during a very difficult time. His patience and straight forward approach is definitely what I needed. His recommendations are helping me gain a better understanding of my behaviors and reactions to certain situations and individuals. I appreciate that he is helping me step back into my Faith, reminding me that I am loved, regardless of my mistakes. Finding a Christian therapist was a barrier in my past search for help. Thanks BetterHelp and Duncan Shaw.
Duncan is wonderful. 10/10
A knowledgeable resource for matters concerning the intersection of individuality and rigid, unquestioned beliefs, and a very kind man.
