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.

- 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.

Very happy to be working with Sheira, she's managed to create a safe space for me with non-judgement, openness and good practices to help me move forward. Thank you for being my therapist on Betterhelp <3
Excellent therapist who helped me turn a dark time into a much lighter one. Thank you
Sheira is an incredibly human with so much empathy and kindness. As a therapist, she has so much compassion but yet still remains so professional and dedicated to her patients. I highly recommend her.
Sheira has thought me so much, she has made me more confident and helped me pull out of a really dark place. Sheira is so approachable and I feel very comfortable speaking to her, I owe her a lot she’s amazing.
I instantly connected with Sheira she got me straight away. She displays an active listening style, asking questions and gently interjecting when things need clarity or further enquiry. I feel heard and understood which is very welcome. Thank you Sheira.
Sheira is a wonderful and empathetic person. She listens and is patient too. An excellent therapist. I highly recommend her.
She listens very carefully and then asks very insightful and valuable questions that have helped me realize my problems and seek a deeper understanding. Thanks to her, I've learned how our brains remember and react, how to use grounding techniques to focus on the present moment to manage unnecessary anxieties, and the importance of self-care. I would like to sincerely thank Sheira for her support and guidance.
Could not ask for a better therapist. Always on time to meetings and cares about what I have to say with great advice and where my problems could stem from.
