I find bernadette extremely caring and understanding. Always look forward to our weekly video sessions. I am constantly amazed by how responsive she is, and the chats between them. With her coaching and guidance, I feel like I'm making tremendous progress with the challenges that brought me to better help in the first place.

Bernadette is fabulous, I feel a real bond of understanding has been achieved with my unique needs and struggles - she is always very open to discussing the current and past, as and when required whilst working towards a goal. I have started referring to her as "The Oracle" or "Sensei" as our sessions are always enjoyable with a suitable balance of humour, guidance and the required. Thank you Bernadette.

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.

Bernadette is very empathetic and just in the right amount for me. She offers advice - which I like - and she makes me feel safe if I say what I really feel. I look forward to our catch-ups because I know she’ll offer a good solution to a problem that’s been bothering me in my personal life

Bernadette is extremely helpful. She reassures me, educates me on my emotions, tackles the problems I have day to day and from past experiences. Could not recommend enough x

Bernadette has been a rock for me the last few weeks. She has helped me manage my stress and recover from a burnout. She has listened to my problems and helped me understand how I feel about them and how to manage them better. Thank you so much Bernadette, you are a star!

Bernadette is an amazing person, I’m only 3 sessions in but I already look forward to chatting with her. She makes you feel so important and she has such an uplifting way. Really looking forward to carrying on this journey with her.

Reviewed January 2024

The best therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. By far, the most supportive and the first one who understands my needs better than anyone else ever has, especially myself. Cannot recommend Bernadette highly enough, she has saved and rebuilt me slowly during a very dark period of my life.

Bernadette is a great listener but also likes to help me tackle problems.

Reviewed November 2023

Bernadette is the ideal therapist match for me, with integrity and honesty I know I can depend on hearing the truth even though at times it may really make me think. I appreciate that she challenges some of my ways of thinking that really no longer serve me and whether the session contains tears, laughter or both I always come away feeling so much better Her way of working engages me and she has helped unlock many doors but always leaving them open for me to choose when is right to open them. I value and appreciate her immensely and hope she knows what a huge difference our sessions have made in all aspects of my life.

Reviewed September 2023

I can definitely say I have benefited from my sessions with Bernadette. She has helped to open my eyes on things I didn’t realise were influencing factors in my life which were causing me unnecessary anxiety. The sessions have given me useful topics to discuss with my partner so we can continue to support each other through stressful times.
