My therapy experience with Heather so far has been so helpful. She is open to listening to my current issues in life that I need to uncover and supports me both in my sessions and picks out relevant worksheets and tasks which help me reflect in my own time on our sessions and what we talk about. I look forward to continuing this journey with Heather to a more positive life.

I am licensed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience in person centred counselling. Being person-centred is about focusing care on the needs of individual.

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.

I've recently started my therapy journey and was skeptical at first but after my first couple of sessions with Heather that has changed. She really has helped me see things from a different perspective and I feel like I'm just starting to see the benefits of these sessions. Heather is a great listener and remembers small details to call back on in follow up sessions. I really feel like Heather is helping me move forward and help me through my issues.

Heather has been such a help. Very understanding and kind towards my needs and difficulties. Her kindness made me feel supported. Feeling understood . I am super grateful for the time we had. My difficulties in life are very unusual but she made me feel I have a place in this planet and that i am worth a million. Heather has been the only person to help me through some dark moments in the last months. I don't regret accepting her to help me though things. Thank you Heather for everything.
