I have felt very comfortable talking to Nicola from the first day I started therapy with her. She always makes me feel understood and it always feel like i’m in a safe space and I can easily open up without feeling judge.

Nikki always listens, makes me feel like my concerns are valid, and is helping me to work on challenging my self-doubt. I would definitely recommend her.

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.
