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.

Overall rating:
She is an amazing therapist, who listens and cares.
Beautiful session. Amazing therapist.
Best therapy and so glad I signed up.
Paula is a wonderful, kind and considerate therapist. She listens to your concerns in a non judgemental manner and helps you to focus on the right mind tools. Highly recommend her!
She is a superb therapist. I have been receiving therapy for years but she is just different.
I feel very comfortable with my therapist. I feel listened to always
So far she has been really supportive
Paula is very good at making you feel like you can open up. She is very professional.
Paula is really good. She really does know what she is talking about. I’m not just saying that. I have had 3 sessions with her and am very impressed. She knows a lot about life and is prepared to listen, when I jump in with conversation. She never dismisses anything and I feel that she actually does care. There is no pressure from her to complete sessions, as after one session , I need quite some time, ie: a week to process what we have spoken about. She says things as they are and doesn’t hold back on the truth . Very happy with Paula
I've only had 2 sessions with Paula so far but have found her empathy and good humour to be both reassuring and helpful in dealing with a relationship issue.
