Recent reviews
Christine is a great listener. She allows me the time to talk through issues without judgement, she feels like a safe space and will offer balanced advice when prompted. Since working with Christine I often find myself thinking about ‘how would I think about this if I were speaking with Christine. She has helped me to start organising my thoughts, gain a little more agency and perspective in my decisions and work out how to have a healthier approach when faced with conflict. I have started to focus more on controllables in my life and am beginning to let go of situations that are not going to serve me in a beneficial way. I’ve recommended Better Help to friends since chatting with her and they have been really positive about my seeking out therapeutic guidance.

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.
