About me. I've had a life full of international travel. Spent a lot of time as an expat in an official capacity in East and West Africa, and South America. The experiences of these various cultures has enriched my life and my training as a counsellor. I studied to PhD level in the 1990s and now have just completed my L4 qualification in Integrative Counselling. I have completed over 200 hours of work with all kinds of clients and it has been a rich and rewarding experience. I feel that I have a lot to offer clients. The main qualities are the core conditions ie, empathy and unconditional regard for my clients, whatever their presenting problems. I have had wonderful feedback from those I've helped and have seen the power of the therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor as a vehicle for change. My style of counselling is very relaxed. I believe life is like a safari, a journey inside and only by exploring ourselves, whether its our past, our views or experiences that we can truly understand who we are and why we act in the way we do.

About online counseling

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.

Amazingly patient and a great listener!
Dr. Ramnath is a great listener. She is laid back and friendly, and makes it easy for one to open up to her. In the process, she guides you to make self discoveries along the way.
Dr. Ramnath is friendly and experienced. She’ll offers great support and guidance especially within south Asian cultural backgrounds
Dr Ramnath is so kind and understanding. I immediately found her very easy to talk to, and it didn't take her long at all to figure out maybe what the main source of my trouble was. I've addressed more in only a few short weeks with her than I ever have been able to before. I certainly recommend her kind and understanding approach, and really trust her expertise.
Very friendly and offers good insight
Dr Kala Ramnath provided me with a strong and stable environment to share some difficult things. I was unsure about therapy but am much more confident now. I look forward to our next appointment.
