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 been seeing Kim Johnson for a few months now and she has been transformative for my mental health. From the start, Kim's empathetic and non-judgmental approach made me feel understood and safe. She is highly knowledgeable and tailors her techniques to fit my needs, especially in dealing with narcissistic abuse. Kim's genuine compassion and dedication are evident in every session. She is always punctual, prepared, and fully engaged, providing valuable resources and follow-up material. Since working with her, I've noticed significant improvements in my well-being, coping strategies, and self-esteem. I wholeheartedly recommend Kim Johnson to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist. She has made a profound positive impact on my life.

Inititally I was very anxious about starting therapy and felt embarrassed about my problems but Kim is warm, non judgemental and has really helped me to change my perspective and open up. She is also very good at reflecting my experiences which I have previously struggled to verbalise. I would highly recommend her as a therapist!

I’ve had Kim as my therapist for around 6 months now and I couldn’t speak any more highly of her! Kim has helped me so much throughout many different challenges, big or small, and never dismisses even the smallest of concerns. I feel so safe with Kim and know I can talk in full confidence about anything. Kim had given me tools and worksheets to better myself and to help cope with any struggles. Thank you Kim for all you do!

What an incredible therapist Kim is! I felt immediately at ease the very moment we met via video call. She is the perfect listener, you never feel judged around her and she helps you navigate your feelings and broadens your perspective without even telling you. Her worksheets are the icing on the cake and I felt no reason to change therapists.

Reviewed February 2023

Kim is a very kind woman who makes me feel seen and heard. She offers her understanding of the situation and her help in easy and clear language. She puts my needs and comfort first as she thinks of (better) ways to help me. After each session I feel like a weight has been lifted of my shoulders.

Reviewed February 2023

I've only had a few sessions with Kim, but I can safely say that I have full trust in her and can say how I feel with no judgement. I trust that Kim has the tools and guidance to help me to achieve the goals I desire. I feel heard by Kim. She will always be clear on what to expect in the up and coming sessions which helps me to have an idea of what I want to speak about and ultimately, that will then help to reduce the anxiety I face. I would highly recommend Kim as a therapist and would recommend to anyone to seek help! My mind set before taking the step to start therapy was that there's a lot of other people that need the help more than me, and that's true... there are people in worse positions than me... but that shouldn't mean I'm not worthy of getting help and to better myself. My friend said something profound that I will always say to people now... "You'd invest your money into new clothes, the odd meal deal, your education, a new bit of tech... but why won't you invest the money into yourself and your mental health. Ultimately that's what's going to get you to achieve your ambitions and your desires. Yes, it's hard to save the money but I'd rather make the small changes (like making a pack lunch rather than spending on a meal deal) to make the big changes for my mental well being, helping me to achieve my goals. Invest in yourself".
