Sarah is a great coach, knows how to lead me to my own conclusions and highlights areas that I need to improve at. She is also great to virtually kick my bum when I start under valuing myself and always has great examples to gently direct me to the right track.

About online counseling

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.

Sara has been a huge help and support during some of the most difficult times in my life. She always offers practical, sensible advice and doesn’t just tells me what I want to hear, but rather what I need to hear.
Sarah is a wonderful coach who gently guides me to the right directions, feels when I need a bit of pause and able to give relevant advice without being suggestive when needed. I had quite a few realizations because of our sessions when she simply guided me through the answers I already knew, but only subconsciously.
Sara has helped me come out of a dark place and helped me enable myself to be the best version of myself since I started therapy. She has also helped me learn the importance of putting myself first and I can now look at the mirror nowadays feeling confident in myself.
She is fantastic!!!
Sara has helped me so much in a very short 2 months. I have not felt this emotionally empowered in such a long time.
Absolutely amazing. Sara has helped me so much.
She helped me a lot in just three sessions.Friendly and understanding. She made me feel comfortable and relieved.
