Janis has been transformative in my life, allowing me the safe space to explore thoughts and ideas in a safe and supportive way. She is patient with me and recognises patterns and behaviours over time which allows us to be goal orientated. Her questions and comments are always thought provoking and I know I can reach out and be understood. We have done several batches of sessions over the last few years and I hope to keep coming back to her in the future as and when I feel I need her to help navigate challenges.

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.
