Carol made me feel better every time I spoke with her. I always felt accepted, and that a weight had been lifted from my shoulders after speaking with her. She always makes my feelings feel valid, and she helps me to understand why I am feeling a certain way. I couldn’t recommend her enough

Welcome, my name is Carol Bendinelli. It takes courage to seek support, you don’t have to feel alone when life feels challenging or overwhelming. Together we can explore the causes of painful emotions. We will work together at your pace, to make positive changes in your life and relationships. I offer a confidential, warm, non-judgemental space where you will feel heard, valued, and accepted for who you are.

I am licensed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Before training as a therapist, I worked in health, education and social care with vulnerable adults and children. I am passionate about working with people to help them reach their personal goals, express their individuality and enjoy 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.
