Lara has been amazing since the beginning. I have felt safe, understood and supported. She has a calm demeanour that I have found extremely helpful specially since my anxiety was taking over my life. I feel calm after every session and since starting my therapy with her my anxiety has gotten much better. She has been outstanding and I am glad that I found betterhelp and Lara to help me navigate my anxiety and family struggles. Thank you so much, I will be eternally grateful.

More about Lara
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I qualified as an existential therapist in the UK. I am also a qualified CBT therapist and have been working with clients for 8 years. I focus on helping clients with relationship/attachment issues, family conflicts, trauma and separation and parenting struggles. My special interest is adoption and have worked extensively both in research and with clients who are adopted.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
