Barry is patient, insightful, inspiring and compassionate. I have learned immensely from him, and with him, through a rather challenging and still ongoing journey, and cannot imagine how I would have made it this far without him.

I am licensed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I am a person centred, integrative counsellor. This means I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Also I can use aspects of other theories to give you the best service possible. I have experience in helping clients with coping with grief and loss, coping with life changes, anxiety, depression, thoughts of suicide and low self worth. Also vast experience with special needs and neuro diversity.
I provide a safe, empathic environment where we can work together on whatever you are going through.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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

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.

Barry Foots is amazing! I would really really recommend him to friends and anyone out there hiding away with problems that just circulate and fester. Barry springs the lock to your cell and sets you free. Almost immediately!
Barry is present, sensitive, empathetic and very insightful. It has been a slow process for me and yet I feel this is the right rate: one step at a time, patiently, a not alone. Took me 7 sessions to write this review, as I am tentative to give relationships time. I am confident Barry is both capable but most of all, willing, to support me in getting back on my feet. He has so far brought me to a place of hope, which I haven't had for a long time.
Barry is a compassionate and professional therapist. He strikes a fantastic balance between listening and proving feedback on my issues. He is also very personable which is so important for a therapist. I would highly recommend him.
