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.

From feeling hopeless and hurt I can see that Wongani gets my situation and explains how my feelings are justified and or how I should handle situations and how to follow through. It’s been a tough year and I need to unpick and heal, getting this support is important.
Wongani has been brilliant so far in my journey to understand myself better & overcome my demons & challenges which are preventing me from living my best life. she is very supportive & attentive & I feel comfortable and happy when we have our sessions & I always come out of our sessions feeling better and with my personal burdens being a bit lighter session by session & I can't wait for our next session so I can grow even more
Wongani is friendly and welcoming. She listens and shows empathy where needed. She has given me the advise for the places i could contact if i need more support.
Absolutely lovely, and super understanding. I find sessions easy and comfortable when talking. everything feels very natural
