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 with Avril for about 4 months now and she has been a key tool in my development with anxiety. She has given me effective ways to rationalise how I am feeling and I would recommend her to anyone.

Avril is a good listener, she doesn’t judge , she has empathy and she has good ideas. I feel suggestions come at a perfect pace focusing on one or two things in each session.

Avril is very understanding and attentive to the things I have to say. She is very supportive and actively listens to what I have to say. I am enjoying therapy with her

Avril is an extremely empathetic therapist. I was pleasantly surprised when I realised that she can understand my struggles, despite cultural and ethnic differences. She has a calm demeanour, listens to you with full attention, and she never refers to my problems as ‘problems’, rather they are ‘issues to tackle’. I have come to understand and appreciate therapy and mental health wellbeing, thanks to Avril. She doesn’t offer any advice and instead lets you talk/voice out your thoughts and emotions. I have had many breakthroughs in therapy, and people around me have noticed a difference in my emotional regulation. Thanks, Avril!

Avril has been extremely supportive and I have managed to build a great rapport with her - I don't feel judged when I speak and she's been a great voice of reason throughout my therapy journey so far. Highly recommend her.

Avril has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her calm and compassionate approach has been so helpful in navigating this foggy time in my life. I have really struggled with seeing the bigger picture and being kinder to myself. Avril is so patient, kind and caring. This has helped me be more kinder and compassionate to myself. She gives great advice, practical tips and works with people at their own levels of development. I have made so much progress in the relatively short time I’ve spent with her. I cannot thank and recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much, Avril!!!

My sessions with Avril made me feel very heard and seen, she is very kind and compassionate allowing me to talk and helping me find ways to connect more with my thoughts and understand them. I have learned a lot about myself during my sessions and the sessions and coping methods we explored are things I will keep with me for life.

Avril was exactly what I was looking for in a therapist. When I first started better help, I was struggling in multiple areas, and not only did Avril walk me through each concern, she also gave me tools and equipped me with healthier practices for the future. It is no small exaggeration to say that my life is significantly better after meeting with Avril. Before therapy with Avril through, I couldn't see how things could get better, I didn't see the way to get to "better", and now standing on the other side, I am so grateful for the work Avril did with me. I cannot recommend her enough.
