I feel very lucky to have been connected with Cheri for my very first therapy session. I highly recommend her to literally anyone, since she created a very safe space for me and the struggles I have been facing. Thank you so so much.

Cheri Gillings has been a godsend, she’s natural to speak to and listens to any concerns big or small and helps see things in a different light. She has helped me gain some daily help in understanding myself and to respect and honour my journey :)

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Cheri has been the perfect fit for me at this time in life. She has sent me resources like worksheets and encouraged the journaling aspect of the better help platform. She helps me identify priorities in a session and acknowledge patterns and keeps me accountable. Best of all she is helping me find new ways to cope and communicate and heal.
