She‘s the best therapist I‘ve ever met. I had quite a lot of bad lucks to find a thoughtful and careful therapist to make me feel safe and she‘s the one I‘ve been looking for a long time. She really listen to you and care about you. That‘s why I‘ve come back to her even after a year of break of therapy. I strongly recommend her!

She is inteligent, and pleasant. Even if she wasn't a therapist, that is the kind of person who one needs to talk to.

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.

Moira provides understanding and well considered alternative perspectives which has been a great help in looking at certain things.
I'm happy with her being my therapist.
Moira has helped me immensely since I started working with her several months ago. She is warm, accepting and encouraging. She helps me to find my way to the heart of my issues and inspires a way to deal with them.
I absolutely love my sessions with Moira. Not only is she a very qualified provider, she is also a person who clearly loves and is passionate about what she does. Her work has immensely helped me since beginning therapy. Talking with Moira is super healing and fun, and I greatly look forward to seeing her every week. Sometimes I forget that I’m actually IN therapy because she provides such a comfortable and safe environment in which I am able to speak about my issues. Thanks, Moira!
Moira is incredibly kind and holistic as a therapist. She creates a very warm environment where you can build trust in knowing that you are being heard and seen. Most importantly Moira helps you reveal the unseen and gets you to the root of the issue.
I have only spoken to Moira twice now, but she seems very empathic and kind. Has offered some good advice.
She’s amazing! Understand my needs and my circumstances. And most of all I actually feel like she cares about me.
she's a wonderful therapist who makes me calm and relaxed. she makes me realize who I am and how important I am. I'm really enjoying the time I spend with her for sessions and I strongly recommend her.
She is like having a best friend to talk to.
I have worked with Moira for the past 6months and found her support to be invaluable. From the beginning Moria took the time to help me better understand what to expect from undertaking person centered therapy and through this journey has allowed me to go at my own pace. I always felt Moira provided a safe space for me to truly be vulnerable about my struggles and was extremely helpful in helping me 'connect the dot's' across different areas of my life. Moira is also very reliable in keeping to scheduled therapy time slots and responsive with communication outside of our therapy calls at times when I have reached out for further support. My overall experience with Moira has been extremely positive and impactful to my life, I cannot thank her more.
Moira is a king, caring person, I was new to therapy and she has made me feel comfortable, which has helped me open up and communicate how I’m feeling better.
