I couldn’t recommend Nicola enough. This is the first time I’ve ever spoken to a therapist and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I feel like talking to Nicola has helped me set achievable goals for self-improvement and help me put my finger on ways that I can improve my own wellbeing.

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.
