Recent reviews
I've been working with Geraldine for several months and she has been a fantastic contribution to my general wellbeing, with her insightful understanding of behaviour and emotions. Her sensitivity towards entering deeper subjects, and doing so at the right time and speed for me, has made it surprisingly easy to incorporate the therapy into my daily life without fear of disrupting my rhythm, whilst making progress on my areas of concern. I would recommend Geraldine to anyone, she is absolutely the person I think everyone should have in their life.

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.
