My name is Nicole Barry. I am a qualified integrative counsellor who has been practicing for 4 years and am very passionate about working with clients to achieve their goals and leave therapy feeling heard and better about themselves. I am happy to put the work in alongside clients so that they feel able to continue to improve even after therapy ends. I work with a range of issues including, but not limited to, self esteem issues, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, stress and coping with life changes. I work at a pace that suits you and offer tailor made treatment which is suitable for your needs.

I am warm, understanding, non-judgemental and I am fully invested in helping you to get the most out of our time together. I offer regular messaging check ins, also therapy sessions delivered by online messaging, phone or video calling, depending on which you prefer.

I look forward to starting our journey together!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
