I really appreciated his fairness and willingness to listen to both people. He gave each of us opportunities to express ourselves and encouraged the other to really listen. I think we both felt heard and were able to make progress.

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.

Farhan has been a great help. He is reliable, a good listener and has great insights. Highly recommend!
Since speaking with Mr Ghafoor, I have felt reassured and supported. My current situation consists of a rollercoaster of emotional ups and downs, ebbs and flows. Mr Ghafoor's presence and guidance, and simply knowing he's there, has made a significant impact on my emotional stability and positively impacted my mood. I always finish each session feeling like I have taken a lot off my chest, I feel lighter in the heart, and always looking forward to our following sessions. Mr Ghafoor is non judgemental, understanding, supportive, empathic, amongst other things that I believe have given him in edge in tackling complex and highly sensitive matters.
Farhan is an empathic and patient therapist, who always has my mental and emotional health at the forefront of the session, making facing my issues tolerable and constructive. Still very challenging and at times uncomfortable, but he has helped me navigate my fears and try to face them appropriately. Still a work in progress, which is half of the challenge. Just need to maintain and continue therapy.
