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.

Peter brings kindness, gentleness, understanding and insightful perspectives on personal matters. A true gem, Peter somehow manages to make even the most difficult situations feel manageable. His general approach lightens the load with his humour and bright energy and simultaneously offers true depth and wisdom. Peter is truly balanced and injected hope and support during some of my darkest moments. Highly recommended to anyone in need of non-judgmental listening ear and solid guidance and tools to work through personal issues.

Very tuned in to day to day issues.

Peter is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had the chance to talk with . He helps me explore myself and my past without feeling like we are just checking off boxes . He has been a tremendous help so far and look forward to continue working with Peter

Reviewed April 2024

It's really easy to talk and express myself in these sessions, I feel listened to in a way I haven't gotten from other therapists.

Reviewed April 2024

I have been working with Peter for several months now, and he is wonderful! He not only spends our sessions focusing on exactly what I want to discuss, but he also is quick to respond to my messages to help me throughout the week. I have a difficult time opening up and really connecting with a therapist, but with Peter, I really feel like I am valued and cared about!

Reviewed March 2024

Peter is a really amazing therapist who has been able to get me to open up and feel comfortable about talking about anything. He’s very good!

Reviewed December 2023

Peter is a really good and fun therapist who really takes the time to get to understand you on a personal level. It feels a lot like talking to a friend (in a good way). I’ve been able to open up to him about things that I haven’t been able to be open with about to other therapists.
