Julie has helped me a lot since I started having regular sessions about 6 months ago - I wasn't in a very good place, and now I feel more balanced and able to tackle whatever comes at me, which has led to a much happier work and family life. I've found her to be very easy to talk to, and have not been made to feel uncomfortable or judged in any of my sessions. From speaking to others who have had therapy, I gather this is often not the case, and having someone I can chat to and feel at ease with has been essential for me. She has also been a great help when conversation has explored neurodiversity. I highly 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.

I have really enjoyed my sessions with Julie. She is a fabulous listener and so supportive. She made me feel completely at ease and I really looked forward to speaking with her
Very kind, reassuring and caring. I felt heard and validated and was able to get past the 'story' quite quickly and notice what was underneath as one of the roots of my unhappiness
