About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.

Fantastic and has helped me immeasurably
Matthew is an exceptional therapist. He combines patience, professionalism, and a deep knowledge of various therapeutic approaches. We have primarily worked with a psychodynamic approach, and I have made significant progress thanks to his guidance and support. Matthew thoughtfully explains the methodology and poses insightful questions that encourage deeper reflection. One of Matthew’s standout qualities is his broad knowledge of philosophy, economic theory, and political theory, which enriches our sessions by providing valuable context and perspectives on common issues. In summary, I highly recommend Matthew as a therapist and am confident in his ability to help others.
10/10
Matthew played an important role in the process of bringing me out of my dark times. I can’t stress this anymore. I strongly recommend Matthew for all who are going through a bad time.
I highly recommend Matthew. He has helped me through a very difficult time, and enabled me to understand and deal with the experiences and challenges I have faced.
After 35 years, I decided to give it a go and try therapy finally. I was matched to Matt and was very happy with it. He took the time to listen and understand what was in my mind, quickly creating a safe space to open up and share.
Matt is really great. Even on the first session he managed to identify a few areas that needed focus which others haven’t. Matt puts you at complete ease and is a lovely guy.
