Ann-Marie has been an incredible support during a rather difficult and stressful period of my time, with a complicated transition with work and family. I needed a safe space, and a competent person to help me find my footing, and prioritise my well-being over others'. Ann-Marie showed kindness, understanding, and our sessions were super effective. Thanks!

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.
