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.

Best therapy and so glad I signed up.

She is a superb therapist. I have been receiving therapy for years but she is just different.
I feel very comfortable with my therapist. I feel listened to always
So far she has been really supportive
Paula is very good at making you feel like you can open up. She is very professional.
Paula is really good. She really does know what she is talking about. I’m not just saying that. I have had 3 sessions with her and am very impressed. She knows a lot about life and is prepared to listen, when I jump in with conversation. She never dismisses anything and I feel that she actually does care. There is no pressure from her to complete sessions, as after one session , I need quite some time, ie: a week to process what we have spoken about. She says things as they are and doesn’t hold back on the truth . Very happy with Paula
I've only had 2 sessions with Paula so far but have found her empathy and good humour to be both reassuring and helpful in dealing with a relationship issue.
