Reviewed May 2024

Ceri is very reliable and a good listener. She does not tell you what to do or offer her own opinions. Instead she reflects back what you say about yourself. It's like having a mirror help up to your psyche.

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.

Ceri is very professional and I feel much better after each session with her. She suggested me several techniques to gain clarity on my goals and reduce anxiety - and it works. Highly recommend her if you struggle with stress or anxiety related to your career or your future in general ❤️ I will continue working with Ceri in the future.

Reviewed November 2023

From the first moment I met Ceri I felt very at ease and could tell she was someone I could trust which was important to me as I haven't always had good experiences with counsellors in the past. She's very insightful and has helped me a lot in just the three sessions I've had.

Reviewed August 2023

Ceri is kind and our talks are helping me during a difficult time.

Reviewed November 2022

Ceri is lovely. I look forward to my sessions and she really drives into the root of the issues that I'm having. It's nice that she sends messages and homework outside of the session too, it feels like I'm being looked out for, and that she cares.
