More about Alina

Seeking help when life feels overwhelming can be an act of courage, especially when we think we should be able to sort ourselves out and each stage of your life brings its unique challenges.

Are you starting to live your life independently and feel confused about the direction you want to take? Struggling with your intimate relationships, or you’re still looking for a partner? You might want to become a parent and are aware of the unsolved problems your own childhood left behind.

Or maybe you are a parent and find it difficult to relate to your child? You find yourself without purpose and wondering why life feels empty? Your children have grown, are living their own lives and the void their leaving the nest feels overwhelming? If, on top of any of the above, you experience other difficulties, no matter how emotionally resilient you are, your distress might feel significant.

All of these life transitions are natural, and the struggles brought with each are as unique as we each are. Sometimes they are more destabilising than expected and it is normal to feel vulnerable.

Whether you find yourself in one of the above scenarios or face another difficulty, I can support you in finding your way through the challenges you are facing.

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.
