The degree of empathy and true desire to help one that Florbela has is something either that my past therapists were missing, or didn't have enough of. I've come a long way in my healing and it definitely wouldn't have been possible without her.

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.

She is very professional and caring about my necessities
Florbela, is an amazing therapist with a wealth of knowledge. I feel very supported by her and have gained a lot of perspective in my life.
Florbela is a nice lady, she listens to me, she is kind and gives me constructive advice. It is helping me cope with my current issues. Thankyou Florbela!
I would highly reccomend Flora! She has helped me through a very difficult time in my life and gave me a new outlook on the inner strength and power I have. She is kind, caring and always supportive & she loves hearing the good things going on in my life too
Florbela is a good listener and is calm patient and approachable. She gives very practical advice and creates a safe space for therapy and self discovery
Florbela has helped me find creative ways on discovering myself and what motivates my behavior and actions. I appreciated how we did the values work which has given me an idea of my backbone as a human being. I also enjoyed our conversations on boundaries and what composed my inner core. She has guided me into choosing a healthier version of myself and I hope to walk that road through and through.
I have been in therapy with Florbela for a couple of months and it's been amazing!
Florbela is an amazing lady and we get on very well! She lets me speak my mind then always come with a great point to think about, the work sheet she sets me are amazing and I really enjoy been able to message and speak all the time. I’m still very new to journalling but really enjoying it and I love that I get feed back on my journals.
Empathetic and kind, Florbela has helped me gain greater clarity and perspective around some of life's challenges.
She's very good
Florbela is a lovely person and I felt at ease meeting her for the first time.
A wonderful therapist who has helped me so much over the past few months. So very grateful to have found her
Forbela has been a massive help. I would highly recommend her. Thank you very much
Very helpful and understands me and helped me realise my root concerns! Excellent listener and very empathetic
Florbela is an amazing therapist, she is so very supportive and had been a great help to me with area of my past that I needed to make sense of, I would very much recommend Florbela.
She really puts her soul in her work and is 100% honest, empathic and on your side. I am very fortunate to have come over such a wonderful therapist
Really helpful with listening and understanding your worry’s. Would recommend Florbela to everyone if I could.
Florbela has helped me so much in the last few months and still is, she has helped me understand parts of myself that I haven’t been able to understand before, I’ve tried other therapists in the past but never felt I could connect properly and really let them in but with florbela from the word go that all changed, she’s incredible and because of her I am enjoying every part of my healing journey and getting to know myself better!
I haven’t counted, but have had probably 10 therapy sessions with Florbela now. She is always calm and in a great mood, a great listener, very good timing and very tolerant. I never doubt her expertise and she’s always ready to develop new individual solutions as well. She’s of great help to me and manages to quickly summarise the gist of a problem/worry. I can only recommend everyone to seek her advice, you won’t regret it.
Excellent experience. Listened and did not judge.
Florbela has been a wonderful support. So consistent, genuine, and caring and so quickly understood where I was coming from. I would highly recommend Florbela's therapeutic support!
Florbela has a beautifully calm and reassuring presence. I have only had a couple of sessions with her and already feel very comfortable. She also sends regular check in's. I'm very grateful to have her as my therapist and feel as though she will help me through my process.
I‘m so happy I made the step to choose Florbela as my therapist, since she got recommended to me through a friend. He listens, can read between the lines, supports, says the right things in the right moments (even if you don’t wanna hear it, but you know it’s true and can only help you ;)) and you can laugh with her. She shows compassion, gives you strength, can calm you down and has some really good tips. It’s my first time doing therapy and I have the strong feeling of being on a good (sometimes hard) way towards my goal of healthy relationships and having my life together. And all this through having Florbela by my side, thank you so much!
A very supportive and caring therapist! She helped me a lot to gain confidence and love myself more. Thank you so much Florbela!!
Have had about 2 months worth of sessions with Florbela now regarding my issues with binge eating and they’ve given me the push I needed to finally start regaining control and seeing the progress that I had been struggling to make for years now. Florbela is enthusiastic, interactive and is a great listener. And it always helps that she has a smile! Would totally recommend
So far I really like the sessions and have already (after 2 sessions) figured some stuff out about myself!
Very kind, a great listener and has helped me greatly so far
