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.

Reliable. Open minded. Experienced.
Dr Atkinson is very patient and listens very well
He seems to understand me on a level I havent experienced. An excellent therapist.
Chris is a great listener and makes you challenge your own limiting beliefs. His honest approach means you’re guided into a better version of yourself. Thanks Chris for everything that you do.
Chris is the utmost professional with vast experience and has helped me understand myself
Christopher has helped me to take control of my anxiety and the self-limiting beliefs I have to make a significant change in my life. He has helped me to understand how to better deal with anxiety and even the trigger points, finding a common language to open up the world of getting better. Without Christopher, the journey over the last 18 months would have been very different. Christopher has helped to give me the tools to deal with the challenges I face and to know when to take the right moment to clarify, understand and deal with the issues at hand. My life has 180'd since working with Christopher and I couldn't thank him any more than is actually possible. Thank you, Christopher, again. You have helped me discover more about myself and helped to give me the tools to deal with issues and grow as a person.
I feel better than before after joining better help
Absolutely love Christopher. He is patient and understanding of my needs. Most of all he has helped me gain perspective and insight on my current situation the has been priceless towards my recovery. Thank you very much, I truly appreciate all your assistance and guidance.
Wonderful therapist
Chris is a very experienced practitioner, who has a sensitive and empathic approach, as well as the ability to appropriately challenge unhelpful thinking. I would happily recommend him to other clients.
Really great therapist, I am blessed to have found christopher
Brilliant
Christopher is a great therapist. He made me think clearer, and see things that I wasn't able to see by myself. Highly recommend!
Only had 2 sessions with Christopher but he’s already been of greater help than therapists I had before, looking forward to more sessions with him
Chris is a remarkable counsellor. He fosters an environment of safety and understanding, making it easy to open up. His insights are truly valuable and his methods practical. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking positive change.
Chris has been amazing. He’s everything you can ask for in a counsellor and more. He’s helped me in my journey and helped me discover light at at the end of the tunnel. He’s helped me see things in a new perspective and challenged me to try new methods and new ways of thinking. I really appreciate his kindness and he’s also very easy to talk to. I can now move on and work things out on my own with all that I have learned now with Chris. He has given me the building blocks and the confidence and the confidence to move forward. I will definitely be reaching out him to again if I need. Thank you Chris.
