Therapy has been absolutely everything to me… it’s helped me beyond words and made me realise why deep rooted traumas come about when least expected. My therapist has been so calm, patient and so amazing at giving advise which has made a huge difference xx

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 feel comfortable talking with Ljea
I trust Ije. Currently undergoing a PhD program in psychology, Ije is an experienced and skilled professional that keeps further investing in her knowledge. This builds trust as I met someone likeminded that I can relate to and it also gives me the comfort of getting up-to-date support. I like how she blends in our treatment different perspectives with tools, as this makes me ground those new approaches to reality. Ije handles the sessions with confidence dosing perfectly listening vs speaking, maintaining so a human nature all along the journey.
Ijeabalum listens carefully and lets you speak before giving advice. She thoroughly addresses and explores any issues before moving on to another topic
Ijeabalum Asike is truly a great therapist and person. I would highly recommend her to anyone even though this is my first experience with therapy. I didn’t understand therapy sessions before I started this experience but now I feel like everyone needs support, and Ijeabalum Asike is a great person to guide you through all your problems - big or small.
She’s simply the best.
She listens and offers good advice. She helps me look at different angles on things and stays very professional 5/5 recommend
I have only been working with Ijeabalum for a few weeks but I already feel some benefits from our work. I think the advice she has given me has been good and it has been really useful to hear her perspective on my situation.
