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 been working on my mental health with Holly’s support for many weeks now. She is incredibly kind, patient and supportive. Holly is a great listener and will never ever judge you. She makes therapy a lot easier than I ever thought it would be. I am so very grateful for my time with Holly each week.

Reviewed August 2024

Holly listens even when I repeat myself often and waits for me to finish. She can professionally pinpoint certain aspects of my past due to her expertise which gives me a clearer insight into my current self and a future better me. I feel comfortable with Holly, which leads to me opening up about issues I don't even express with family members or have the space to do so. I'd highly recommend Holly as this is my first experience speaking to a therapist and she's made me feel comfortable and valued in a new experience and I have no doubt she could do the same for others.

Reviewed March 2024

Holly is great. She really listens and empathises in what I’m saying and always offers incredible insight and knowledge as well as allowing me to feel like she is really holding space for me.

Reviewed March 2024

I hit a period in my life when it seemed I had never felt so low. Amongst other problems, I was coping with a major bereavement and it felt like a crisis. During this period I managed to find BetterHelp & was paired with Holly , Straight away Holly was warm, kind and understanding – she didn’t rush anything, she listened, after each session I’d feel so much better, stronger and my mind began to clear. I cannot recommend Holly highly enough to you.
