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.

Reviewed January 2023

Sarah has been incredibly professional throughout the process of our therapy sessions and has helped me to realise what I needed to focus on. I would highly recommend Sarah as a therapist because she has been nothing but supportive, understanding, straightforward and honest. Once Sarah had helped me to resolve my initial reasons for participating in therapy I decided to stay on and address a few other things too. I would recommend Sarah and betterhelp to anyone that’s considering therapy.
