Nicola is an extremely thoughtful, skilled and compassionate councillor and I am indebted to her. I feel I have really made progress and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Reviewed November 2024

Nicola’s support and assistance has been invaluable to me over a challenging period in my life. Throughout my sessions with Nicola I’ve gained a range of coping techniques and a renewed sense of perspective and self confidence which has ultimately led to me being able to deal with situations better. Nicola’s gentle, support and empathetic approach worked really well for me and allowed her to challenge me and facilitate some deep considerations in me. I will forever be grateful for Nicola’s support and would throughly recommend her sessions.

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.
