Esther helped me tremendously during a hard time in my life where I didn't trust my own thoughts or feelings. Esther really helped to push me to think about things that were uncomfortable, but ultimately got me to a really great headspace. Esther was the one to suggest that I might want to stop counselling for the time being as she felt I was in a good place and it was so encouraging to hear that from her. If I need to come back to counselling for any reason, Esther would be my first port of call. Thank you for all your help

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.
