I’ve had three sessions so far with Lesley, and she’s amazing! I feel truly listened to and understood. She helps me unpack and process things in ways that really work for me. I’d recommend Lesley to anyone who wants to explore, heal, or challenge themselves. She creates a safe space and gently guides you through the issues you want to overcome. I’m genuinely grateful to be working with her.

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.
