Barry is absolutely awesome! It's a pleasure to speak with him. I have the feeling I am speaking more to a friend than a therapist. :)

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.

Barry is absolutely awesome! It's a pleasure to speak with him. I have the feeling I am speaking more to a friend than a therapist. :)
Have found Barry to be very good at getting me to see and help iron out some of my problems. He has helped me to see things in a clearer light and not to be so angry and hurt! I can now try and move on and get my life back together again! Thank you
I've been having sessions with Barry for about 6 months now and he's aided me on my journey immensely. He's helped me to understand my anxiety and shown me how to see things from different perspectives. It's been an absolute pleasure and I always look forward to my weekly sessions with him.
Barry was very friendly and helpful in terms of providing material to help me through a crisis. He used metaphors in a way that made it easier to understand volatile emotions.
I found our sessions incredibly helpful and am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Barry and move forwards with new tools and knowledge. Thank you !
Barry was outstanding at helping me to process feelings, people and situations that previously got the better of me. He has taught me tools that I may use whenever the need arises in future. I feel better equiped for what lies ahead. I highly recommend Barry as a therapist.
When I first met Barry we were able to dive into the undying issues right away without any awkwardness. He treated my issues with great respect and was able to go into the root causes of problems through his knowledge of relationships and several years of therapy experience. I would recommend Barry Dolan to a friend,
Barry has been incredible. I feel like I'm talking to a friend rather than a therapist, he makes the whole experience feel a lot more relaxed. He's also given me helpful techniques and told me about similar experiences that he's had which helped a lot. Would highly recommend him.
Absolutely amazing so far- I can feel a big change in me in just two weeks- very understanding and knowledgable- humanises experiences
