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.

I have had 3 sessions with Emma and they have improved the way I look on my worries and how I handle challenging situations. I feel there's a lot more to work on but having Emma on my team brings optimism about both the process and the outcome. Apart from being a game-changer Emma is also professional, punctual, resourceful ,kind and lovely to speak to. Thank you, Emma.

Emma gives me the space to discuss my thoughts and feelings without judgement and without worry. She's helped me to feel like my feelings are valid but also to begin to understand the actions of those around me. She is kind and thoughtful and she's offered me practical things to do when I am feeling anxious.

Emma has been such a massive help in my experience. This is something I haven’t done before and she made me feel really comfortable and I felt like we have known each other a long time after just a few sessions. I cant believe how much I have been able to reflect on my issues in our sessions and I have been able to achieve a more positive way of looking at my situation in such a short time with Emma.
