This knowledge and she continuing to challenging me thoughts have been pivotal in all steps I have taken afterwards and still am taking.

Selina makes you feel comfortable to speak from the start, she is great at reading between the lines, and really picks up where you left the last time. In only a few sessions Selina helped me working out my thought patterns and on what caused/s them. I look forward to every session with her, as they feel like talking to a dear friend.

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.
