Michelle has genuinely saved my life. Without her support, kind words and real, achievable help and advice I would not be in a place where I can heal and move on. I am able to understand my trauma and how it is impacting me on a day to day basis and how I can still function whilst healing. She has given me the tools to achieve things I didn’t think I could do and to process everything in a healthy way.

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.

Michelle was helpful and talked through in detail the issues I was concerned about. It was great to have someone listen to my worries and understand the challenges facing me. I feel better having had the time to work on the issues that are important to me.
Michelle is thoughtful, insightful, and has an ability to fill in the blanks that I leave in our conversations perfectly. She has a gentle, supportive way of getting things out of my head that I wasn't aware were in there, and manages to ensure I have a support mechanism in place to deal with those things once out. I feel confident in her abilities and feel that she has impacted my life immeasurably in a relatively short space of time. Plus she has an incredibly soothing voice.
Calming and professional.
Kind and caring. Respectful of my opinions and perspective of life. Makes me feel calm and ok with what's happening in my life, even though sometimes I feel it's falling apart I now have ways of not feeling like that. A more positive outlook. Thank you.
