As someone who cheated on his wife multiple times during his relationship, John has helped me get a deeper understanding in the stories I was telling myself. Besides being a great, active listener, he has also given me the right tools to help me navigate the tricky landscape of the mind. I have now taught myself I can tell myself a different story, one that aligns with my values as a respectful human being, an honest husband and trustworthy partner. If I keep putting this person in the driver seat of my life, all else will follow. Thank you, dear John, for helping me gain the insights I needed and providing me with a set of practical tools to better understand my triggers and behaviour, a crucial skill that will be helpful in any situation for the rest of my life.

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.
