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.

Review: My experience with Nicola's therapy was incredibly positive and transformative. Nicola's empathetic and respectful approach, combined with her unwavering professionalism, created an environment that fostered personal growth and reflection. From the very beginning, Nicola demonstrated a remarkable ability to connect on an emotional level. She listened attentively and provided a safe space for me to reflect and explore my emotions and presenting problems. Nicola's non-judgmental and non-prescriptive approach allowed me to feel comfortable and supported throughout my therapeutic journey. One aspect that particularly impressed me was Nicola's professionalism in managing any connectivity issues that arose during our online sessions. She handled these challenges seamlessly, ensuring that they did not distract or disrupt the flow of therapy. Nicola's ability to navigate technical difficulties with grace and efficiency further underscored her commitment to providing a smooth and uninterrupted therapeutic experience. Overall, my time with Nicola was marked by her professionalism, empathy, and respect. She guided me through self-reflection and emotional exploration, offering valuable insights and thought-provoking questions. I am immensely grateful for her expertise and the positive impact she has had on my well-being. I highly recommend Nicola to anyone seeking a therapist who combines professionalism with a compassionate and empowering approach to therapy.
