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.

Mairi is great - I feel heard, supported and not rushed. She points out things I had not even thought of and I’m confident we’re working towards my goals effectively
I’ve only been working with Mairi for a couple of weeks and I am new to online counselling but I feel that this method has meant Mairi has got to know me quicker and therefore be able to help me faster than if it had been in person. She’s already come up with some really insightful thoughts which help me to work through my issues
