Esther helped me tremendously during a hard time in my life where I didn't trust my own thoughts or feelings. Esther really helped to push me to think about things that were uncomfortable, but ultimately got me to a really great headspace. Esther was the one to suggest that I might want to stop counselling for the time being as she felt I was in a good place and it was so encouraging to hear that from her. If I need to come back to counselling for any reason, Esther would be my first port of call. Thank you for all your help

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
