Why choose online?
-
Comfort and security. Being able to access therapy from your own home may help you feel more at ease.
-
Accessibility. You can choose to turn your camera off or use the text function instead of talking.
-
Flexibility. You can access your appointment anywhere and anytime. No need to factor in travelling time or worry about missing the bus. You can even continue our session while you're on holiday, although I'd recommend you take a break to enjoy it!

Availability. You have a busy life but want something as close to in-person appointments as possible.

What can online counselling help me with?
-
A lot! Like in-person counselling online therapy can help you with a wide array of personal challenges.
-
Some examples: not feeling good enough, uncertainty around gender or sexuality, anxiety, depression, burnout, and 'lighting yourself on fire to keep others warm'.

If you're unsure if online therapy is right for you please get in touch with any questions and I will help you work out the right fit.
