Lyn is the best! I trust her completely. She was there with me and helped me get through some rough times. With her guidance, I learned from them and improved myself. If you love yourself - get Lyn into your life.

Reviewed November 2024

I’ve been working with Lyn for a wee while now, and I’m genuinely grateful for the guidance and support I’ve received. She truly creates a safe, non-judgmental space that allows for honest conversations and self-reflection. I love her way of listening and asking the right questions that help me see things from a new perspective. She also provides with loads of interesting and relevant material to read for content if you want to. What I appreciate most is her ability to offer insights that are truly empowering, rather than simply giving advice. It's clear that Lyn truly cares about their clients’ well-being. I always leave our sessions feeling heard, respected, and more equipped to handle whatever comes my 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.

Lyn’s vast knowledge and experience enabled her to assess my issues and challenges very quickly. Lyn gained my trust very early on in our first session , and she has shared so much information with me, about how and why things happen, which has all made perfect sense, with many “lightbulb” moments. I highly recommend Lyn
