Ivana is wonderful. In roughly half a year, she helped me understand and handle my impulses and emotions much better. She listens to me and gently guides the direction of our conversations without ever jumping to conclusions or giving simple answers. She lets me come to the conclusions myself, while providing advice and helpful material when I'm stuck or falling into unhelpful patterns. Her ability to empathize and help with refocusing is amazing.

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.

Ivana has really helped me already. She is easy to talk to and gives me different ways to improve my situation. I would recommend her to anyone.

Reviewed August 2024

She is brilliant. Easy to talk to and understand exactly what you are saying even when you feel you're struggling to explain things. Calmly challenge your negative core believes and open to refer you in right path rather than holding you in a wrong way

Working with Ivana has been great. She's been helping me understanding my feelings and been amazing listening to my struggles and frustrations.

Reviewed April 2024

When I started Therapy with Ivana I was struggling in a few different parts in my life and after only a few weeks of sessions I’m already in a much better and healthier place. I couldn’t say enough about how good she is and I’m so grateful to have her as my therapist on BetterHelp.

Reviewed March 2024

I have had a couple of session with Ivana and I would highly recommend her as a therapist. I feel safe sharing with her and have quickly discovered so much already. I also feel she is highly intuitive and I feel seen and heard. I am so glad I was paired up with Ivana.

Ivana is an amazing therapist and I would recommend her to anyone. She is understanding and provides a non-judgemental therapy service which has been so needed for myself.

Reviewed February 2024

She has a great understanding and I'm actually working at things rather than just talking and crying in a session

Reviewed February 2024

Compassionate, knowledgable and incredible at creating a safe space where one feels they can open up. Her advice has helped me immensely in only 3 sessions, despite me not having significant trust in the process of therapy to begin with. A wonderful and kind-hearted therapist :)

Reviewed February 2024

Ivana is a great listener and always ensures she understands what I mean to say. She also does not try to come up with quick fixes but instead make sure I really think about the sources of my feelings so I can come up with a resolution myself. It has been really helpful. I can not recommend Ivana enough if you want to feel heard without feeling like a burden.

Reviewed January 2024

I connected with Ivana from my very first video call. She listened, shared some observations and challenged some of my thinking. I’ve been to hell in the last few weeks, and Ivana has helped me stabilise, get perspective and start rebuilding into a stronger place than before my trauma
