It is my first time doing therapy, so I don't always know how it works and Nicola has been kind to guide me through it. She listens with no judgement and I feel safe to open up to her.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

A great therapist and person- creates a really safe environment to talk about how you feel
It is my first time doing therapy, so I don't always know how it works and Nicola has been kind to guide me through it. She listens with no judgement and I feel safe to open up to her.
My experience with Nicola Kassam was such a lovely experience especially since I have shied-away from therapy after a previously horrendous experience with a male therapist years earlier. Nicola was sweet, kind, caring, a wonderful listener, and she always helped me look at things from a different perspective, or point of view that I maybe hadn’t considered. She challenged my way of thinking and how I viewed scenarios but always in a kind and supportive, gentle way. I feel transformed and healed in a lot of areas of my life that desperately needed help after several months of therapy with Nicola. I would recommend her to anyone. She is fantastic, kind, and very helpful in the healing process. Can’t say enough good things about my experience or Nicola!
Nicola is a great listener. I feel like she truly hears my concerns and validates my feelings. She offers perspective, and helpful advice. She is a joy to work with!
I couldn’t be happier with the connection with Nicola Kassam. She is professional and kind…. I’m completely comfortable.
