I can’t recommend Dani enough, it’s taken me years to see a therapist and Dani’s been nothing but a good listener, given great advice and made me feel comfortable in myself. Looking forward to more sessions!

Reviewed November 2023

I found talking with Dani to be extremely helpful! She listened and really understood my issue and had some great insights and even provided me with more resources! She was warm and caring and very easy to talk to. I would highly recommend her for anyone struggling or going through difficult circumstances.

About online counseling

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.

Dani was so understanding and helped me feel comfortable to open up! I saw a difference within just a few weeks on how I perceived things and how I acted on things in life as well. I would highly recommend her expertise.

Reviewed August 2023

After long time having a hard time living abroad and feeling isolated, i could suddenly feel better after having first video conference with her. She's a good listener and its really enjoyable talking to her.

Reviewed May 2023

My therapy sessions with Dani have been really insightful. We only had 8 sessions though it helped me to transform years of anxiety and overthinking. Glad I was brave enough to finally go to therpay, and wish I've done it sooner!

Reviewed January 2023

I am looking forward to our sessions. It has been really helpful sharing my story with her. She is a really good listener and gives me a lot of useful tips. Even though she might not have experienced what I have, she does a really good job in working with me.
