What is Online Therapy or Counseling?

Like traditional therapy or counseling, online therapy gives you a place to express and explore difficulties in a safe and supportive way, without being judged.

Together we decide the direction you will take. I do not tell you what to do, and help you find a way forward.

This is a time especially for you, and can take place over as long or short a period as you need.

Some of the advantages and limitations of online therapy follow.

• You like expressing yourself via text and computer.
