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, 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.

Although I've only had 2 sessions with my therapist I am feeling so confident about her. She's genuine, compassionate, kind and offered what I need to hear and seems to care deeply about my recovery journey. I would definitely recommend this therapist to anyone looking for a therapist.

Susie is the most relatable therapist I have ever had and I have had a few. I truly appreciate her insightful questions that make me think and consider my situation in new ways.

What an amazing resource!

Suzie is a gem! She has been a consistent help whether I’m experiencing one of life’s extremes or just in a peaceful lull her companionship via live sessions, messaging, worksheets and journal responses. We have covered much ground in raking out past experiences and triggers in the present. She adds perspective and care and responds well in a timely manner. I find this BH experience very worthwhile because of her input and insight. Suzie was a great match for me and my issues and my temperament. Well done, BH.

I may not have had many sessions with Susie but just in the few sessions we’ve had I’m confident in Susie’s expertise. I feel she gives me great coping mechanisms, she gives me “homework” as that helps for me. She’s unlike any therapist I’ve had in the past and I’m so grateful for that!

Reviewed April 2023

I was worried about what my experience would be like for the first time ever attending formal therapy but Susie has been amazing so far and taken the time to understand me and my circumstances.

Reviewed April 2023

I enjoy working with Susie. She quickly started therapy instead of wasting time with a lengthy questionnaire. She followed up with the appropriate questionnaire’s regarding my concerns. She redirects gently to help you stay on topic and gives useful advice. She answers urgent text questions very quickly and also answers non urgent questions within the day. I highly recommend her services.

She’s wonderful. She has listened to my concerns and allows me to talk about what I want to discuss, but also has helped me to focus on the root of issues.
