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.

Best therapist in the world, I love her to death
Gail is a fantastic support. Her calm and professional manner combined with superior expertise gives me the ultimate confidence in this better health journey. Highly recommend Gail to all!
I went to Gail as she specialises in trauma. I can't thank her enough for making me understand my feelings and how I've been acting day to day to find coping mechanisms and new ways of thinking. Always kind, she is even happy to respond to a message outside of our videos calls if I have something urgent I need to discuss. I am a more stable, self aware person due to her help. And have actually started seeing positive changes in my life.
Gail Rickaby is a wonderfull therapist. She helped me understand roots of many of my issues. I understood a lot of things about myself that I didn't understand earlier. For the first time in more than ten years I see a path, I see opportunities, instead of everyday routine. I strongly recomend this therapist
Gail has been a great help to me in my journey and would recommend her to anyone
Gail has been a wonderful support and help in my recovery of burnout. I am still in therapy with her.
Gail is amazing, she has helped me so much. She a deep understanding of trauma is easy to talk to and shows genuine compassion & empathy.
Gail has been an incredible help to me over the past several months. Her warm personality and empathetic listening skills made me feel comfortable opening up from our very first session. Gail helped me to deal with my immediate problems as well as gave me clear insights on other things I need to address. Gail is knowledgeable, caring, and an outstanding therapist that I cannot recommend highly enough. Working with her has been a truly positive experience.
Gail understands my feelings and points and is very understanding
I started therapy with hesitation about whether it would actually work but after having sessions with Gail I realised that it was everything I needed. Gail had a lovely aura which made it easy for me to open up and share my most vulnerable moments. She has helped me heal through my trauma and given me hope of a happy future. Thank you Gail, I will never forget the wonderful positive impact you have made in my life.
I LOVE HER!!!! ABSOLUTELY MY FAVOURITE HUMAN BEING!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gail has been amazing from the first second we met. She's warm and friendly and clearly keen to find out exactly what it is I'd like to talk about, work on or discuss with her. She's offered great advice and explained so many things so simply and easily for me to help me with areas of myself I'm looking to improve or understand.
I only had two therapy sessions so far, but I feel very safe, respected and also much better about my self after every session. She listens and gives good advise and makes my mind think in a different way. She responds to messages very quick and sends worksheets/podcasts to listen to to work on in between sessions. I‘m looking forward going my journey to feel better about/with myself with Gail.
Gail is lovely and her insights are very on point. Her kind nature puts you at ease and creates a space to share and be heard. Take time to listen to her insights and you will feel seen
Gail has been a transformative presence in my life. Initially skeptical of online therapy, her sincere connection, attentive listening, and caring demeanor quickly won me over. Despite the virtual setting, Gail's ability to create a safe and empathetic space made our sessions feel deeply personal. Her genuine concern for my well-being was evident in every interaction. Gail's insightful guidance helped me gain new perspectives and navigate challenges with confidence. She effortlessly blends professionalism with compassion, providing valuable tools for personal growth. In sum, Gail's online therapy has been a revelation. Her impact on my journey of self-discovery and healing is immeasurable. I wholeheartedly recommend Gail to anyone seeking a dedicated and compassionate therapist who truly makes a difference.
I've been working with Gail for a few months, and I'm thankful for it. She is kind, understanding, and professional. After having a traumatic experience with another therapist, I'm happy I found Gail. In my first session, I could already tell this experience was different. Gail's energy made me so comfortable in talking about my problems that I didn't have any hesitation or struggle to open up about my problems. I've improved and learned much about myself in those last months. I recommend Gail if you're looking for an honest, kind, and professional therapist.
Gail is excellent and is helping me through a difficult situation with professionalism and empathy.
