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.

Raphaella is a wonderful therapist! She came into my life when I needed help the most and she saved my life. I highly recommend her
I am one of Raphaella's male clients and I would like to say that she has been nothing but attentive and understanding throughout our sessions together. Since beginning our sessions, my mental health has improved significantly as I now know how to cope with my anxiety and have been provided with different ways to treat it in different situations. Raphaella is an incredible listener and always responds to my queries in a calm and measured way. It's safe to say that I have found the perfect person to confide in.
I’m really grateful for Raphaella’s help as she has changed my perspective of therapy. The way in which she responds to my anxieties and traumas has been compassionate, understanding and made me really want to tap into my triggers, understand them and truly heal. Even with my busy schedule, I have had the time to practice the strategies Raphaella has taught me due to their emotional efficiency - she has equipped me with the techniques to overcome and manage both my short term and long term struggles. It was really hard for me to start therapy again. After the lockdowns due to covid-19, I had a hard time finding happiness. However, signing up for betterhelp and being assigned to Raphaella helped me to focus my mind and focus on my goals.
Raphaella was very nice to me. Always responded to messages promptly. She helped me a lot. Raphaella gave me relevant homework. Thank you
Raphaella has been so fantastic with me. As a young man, I had a lot of worries about starting counselling, however right from our very first session Raphaella has helped me feel comfortable and safe when talking. I never felt judged by her and in our sessions she has listened so well before weighing in with her own professional opinion, which was always supportive. She has gone above and beyond in helping me, such as sending me messages of support before events that I had told her were upcoming. These things all made me feel like my feelings were valid and that I had the full support of Raphaella. As a therapist, Raphaella is thoughtful, kind, and a great listener. I would not hesitate to recommend her
Raphaella is amazing. I really appreciate the time she takes with me on each session. She allows me to be vulnerable but also cheers me up when I need it. I honestly do not know where I would be without her she has helped me so much and guided me in a more positive direction.
