Online Counselling
Overview of Online Therapy
Online therapy provides flexible and accessible support, allowing you to receive counselling from your preferred location. Sessions are conducted securely via video, accommodating your schedule and personal preferences. This approach eliminates geographical barriers, saves travel time, and offers flexibility when in-person sessions aren’t feasible.
Whether you choose online or in-person sessions, my therapeutic approach remains consistent, ensuring you receive the same empathetic and client-centered care. Both settings provide a safe, supportive environment where we can work collaboratively to address your unique needs and goals.
