About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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

Sarah is a wonderful therapist. She offers a variety of methods to help through my many anxiety issues. She's flexible in using them, and finding which ones suit me best. I feel energised, hopeful and calm after our sessions, which I haven't felt in a long time.

Reviewed July 2024

Sarah has been amazing. I feel really validated in my past experiences and a sense of relief knowing I have her support in better managing my anxieties and mental health. Sarah has a range of tools and techniques as a mental health professional which I feel enables a unique and individual journey. I started with her just after leaving a job which had been really detrimental to my mental health and I feel my recovery from that really stressful time in my life would've been a lot slower without her!

Reviewed June 2024

Sarah has been so patient, kind and understanding. I have found her approach to be so effective and she really has helped me through a difficult time, I will forever be appreciative of this! Can’t recommend her enough.

Reviewed June 2024

I felt very comfortable with our first session where we got to knkw each other. Sarah took her time to listen to my story about how I pereceived my abusive narcissist relationship. She was very warm hearted, respectful, empathic, listening so well and sharing kind words and impulses with me. I could easily open up, share my feelings and cried, because I felt sad, when I told her everything that I experienced. Then she also passed me virtual tissue to dry my tears. What a lovely, supporting and empowering soul. I'm looking forward to more nice sessions.

Reviewed May 2024

Sarah is a great therapist, she provides great feedback and advice and has a wealth of techniques to help you with your specific issues. I've never had a particularly bad therapist before, but I've found that some of them focus on general issues more and letting you vent while not giving enough specific techniques/homework. I'd rank her as particularly effective in targeting your specific issues, using techniques specifically targeting those issues, and giving you some homework/practices to work on in the interim between sessions. I've had quite a few therapists in my life and I'd easily count her as among the best.
