I had 2 months of counselling with Gerald and I really looked forward to every session. We had a great rapport and he always knew the right words to say. Sometimes he challenged me, sometimes he agreed with me, but he always listened to me and gave me sensible suggestions. I couldn’t recommend Gerald highly enough. All round solid gentleman and an excellent counsellor.

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.
