Kate is a very kind woman who makes me feel heard and validated. She is very supportive and helps me make sense of all the stuff that's happened to me (a LOT) which is still taking space up in my head. I tend to ramble a lot because of my ADHD and my head being even more full due to all the unprocessed trauma, but she never rudely cuts me off like I've had happen in the past. She just reminds me of the time and says we can continue talking about it next week. So in my opinion she's great and I highly recommend her.

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.

- 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.

Very attentive, helped me process my thoughts and gain understanding on my self and my situations. Helped me gain clarity and self confidence.
I enjoy every session with Kate. She is very good at helping you get to the core of the problem whilst also being considerate and moving at your pace. Her experience really shines through and she has helped me in many ways. Thank you Kate
absolutely adore her
I'm still very new to therapy, so have only had a few sessions, but I have never felt at ease with a therapist before. She is so kind, and easy to talk to, and opening up doesn't seem to be a hardship. Would highly recommend to nervous new comers.
Kate is really kind and approachable. I feel comfortable with her and know that she has my best interests at heart.
Kate is a very supportive, helpful, insightful and compasionate therapist.
I have only had a few sessions with Kate but both have been amazing. We still have loads to get through but she has given me the strength to share things with her that will only help improve my mental health moving forward. I would definitely recommend her for anyone struggling with anxiety.
