Andrea is fabulous. This was my first session with her today. Despite that I immediately felt comfortable opening up to her and chatting about my life. The dialogue just came so easily. I didn’t expect that right off the bat. I thought we would need more sessions to get to know each other and get comfortable. That has been my experience with other therapists. But to my pleasant surprise It was different with Andrea. We hit the ground running, me leading, as if we were picking up an ongoing conversation that we started months ago. It really was a wonderful first session and I’m looking forward to chatting with her more next week. I cannot recommend her more highly.

About online counselling

Online counselling, 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 counselling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
