Orla has helped me in untangling the complex knots and layers of my emotions. She guided me to dive deep down into the root causes of why I feel or act a certain way which made me understand myself more. This has helped me in getting to a better state. She has been incredible in guiding me through it, listening to me, providing me with different outlets and exercises (such as worksheets and breathing techniques).

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.
