Ben has been amazing. I have never spoken much about my concerns to anyone and Ben has been so understanding and makes it extremely easy to open up and talk to about anything.

Ben has been really helpful. Made it easy to open up about everything and have a free open discussion whilst exploring other aspect of my life where I get the same feelings. Starting to make a huge difference after just 3 sessions.

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.
