About online counseling

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.

Val has been absolutely amazing! I really feel like I’m in a safe place where I feel supported, heard and respected. Honestly I had my hesitation and conserved to go to therapy but they have disappeared after working with Val. I can honestly say I feel confident to face my challenges n tramas with her help.

Amazing care, and always communicates back properly. Listens to what I have concerns about, and also pushed me to talk about things that need to be talked about, which I appreciate. I am the type of person that will not talk about anything personal unless pushed, so I need that type of care.
