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.

She listens and gives me enough space and time to figure out my own things, at my own pace. I really felt comfortable taking to her. She helped me find my own answers and look at the right places. I managed to make some changes in my life and I am grateful for that. I didn't know if online therapy would actually help, but it did. I can feel my wounds healing. This platform has amazing specialists, which can help you with whatever problems you have. Never thought I am able to go trough this all! Thank you, Olivia Tay!

A very kind considerate person, who I’ve had many good sessions with. Olivia doesn’t force her theories and ideas on her client but rather lets the conversation develop in order to see what the client needs.
