I qualified in the UK with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, loss and grief, relationship issues, family conflicts, & career difficulties. I believe that you are the expert about your experience and your feelings and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take great courage so the one thing that I currently know about you is that you have taken that difficult step.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.
