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.

Very good, listens and is patient
Orlando is thoughtful and professional. I always feel comfortable sharing my problems and experiences with him.
I would like to thank Mr. Hollingsworth for our first session. I didn't know what to expect and was hesitant even to start. But he made my first experience with therapy really, really good. I am lucky that he is my first therapist. I've had some safe spaces before, but they often felt limited, or there seemed to be other intentions later on. With Mr, Hollingsworth, I felt a genuine love for what he does and a sincere desire to help people understand what they've been through. I feel hopeful that I have someone I can trust who will help me understand myself and find what I need. He created a safe space that I've never really experienced before. When he said this is a safe space with no judgment, It felt he really meant it-and he followed through on it.
Orlando is just brilliant; he is patient, empathetic, insightful and kind, and he has a great sense of humour, which takes the edge of my own anxiety about therapy generally. Our sessions are highly constructive and I feel that he is helping my feel my way through a number of pretty radical recent life changes. I highly recommend Orlando on every level.
Orlando is a great therapist, he understands me and my issues and talks to me in a way that I can really relate to. I always leave our sessions feeling clear headed and with the tools to take on an issues that pops up for me.
Straight speaking, respectful and supportive. Orlando gave me a new perspective on my issues and equipped me with helpful ideas to make progress.
Changing a therapist from the one I had (very nice, but not what I need) to Orlando, may be one of the best decisions I made in the last couple of months! He makes the therapy suit me and my needs, and explains the process and work methods to make sure they are good for me. Orlando understans me, helps me process what I am going through, gives me the support I need and we even get some good laughs.
Orlando is excellent. Really friendly. Really approachable and clearly very skilled. Has made a real effort to understand how I work and respond. Couldn’t have asked for a better therapist
I'd like to write a more extensive review at a later date but for now I want to say that he has had a massively positive impact on me, my life, and my personal growth in such a short space of time. He is a compassionate listener and natural problem-solver and warm human who has been excellent at encouraging me to explore questions or pathways where I've gone on to found the answers I was looking for every time. It's been an effortless and motivating experience thus far :-)
Orlando gives me a calming feeling just talking to him, he really listens and takes the time to go over the details.
Orlando is absolutely brilliant. He listens without judgment and gives nuanced and insightful responses. He has been instrumental in helping me unpack and realise how I truly feel about situations and has helped me understand myself much better allowing me to make incredibly tough decisions that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to make. He is an incredibly respectful and patient guy who will go above and beyond what you expect from a counsellor on this platform. He makes you feel Incredibly comfortable, allowing you to discuss anything with him. I have nothing but immense respect for Orlando and I recommend him highly!
10 months into therapy with Orlando, i couldn't wish for anyone better. Not only does he listen and make our sessions and chats feel like a safe space since the day one, he makes sure his approach is personalised. Orlando is a therapist who goes extra mile to make sure his patients are getting the most from the sessions. I'm still on it but he's helped me start healing and understand so many things. His personality and approach is so welcoming, from the first session i could open up because i knew i was talking to the right person.
Hes very understanding & listens even when on holidays i wasn’t expecting him to send me message, im very happy speaking with him so far & ive only started with him
I haven't had many sessions with Orlando yet, but he exceeds my expectations and our talks create a very tangible difference in my life already. Whereas I felt that my previous therapist would ''sweettalk" me and ask vague or unimportant questions, Orlando asks me questions that makes me think twice about certain things and challenges my beliefs in a way that is direct but not uncaring which is really what I need personally. I like his unconventional approach and being both professional in his approach yet human in his responses. Orlando is a champion.
I have had a really positive and rewarding experience.
Orlando is simply the best! He always pays attention to the details and even between the sessions he keeps in touch. Many thanks :)
Orlando is by far one of the most understanding and caring therapists I’ve ever come across. His ability to put himself into your situation to truly feel what is needed for you, his problem solving skills and ways of bringing forward techniques and processes of how to better deal with problems when they arise in the future are truly outstanding. Can not recommend him enough!
The best therapist
I have seen many therapists over the years, but none compare to Orlando. His ability to quickly identify issues and uncover their root causes is unparalleled. Orlando’s approach is both thorough and adaptable; he provides multiple exercises to address the issues, and if one doesn’t work, he promptly offers alternative solutions until we find what works best. Even after just two sessions, I can already see a difference in my journey, and I am confident in his ability to help me further. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective and compassionate therapy.
Orlando H is a very helpful therapist. He helped me fix problems that I've had for years and all in a calm understanding sympathetic way.
He’s a amazing listener towards my issues and he helps me by being attentive towards my issue and give me the confidence to try and work on my relation issue.
Best therapist around. Prior to him, I saw therapy as a waste of time. Very good at providing analytical breakdowns, merged with casual observations and most importantly, next steps.
Incredible guy
Orlando is a breath of fresh air, he just gets me. He knows what I'm trying to achieve and he knows the path that I'm trting to take probably because he is on that path himself. I trust in his wisdon, gudance and expertise. I think the most important thing is though I connect with him. He is excellent at breaking down barriers, breaking the ice and is extremly down-to-earth. I feel open to share and I experience healing through his service. He listens really well and has suitable solutions. I'm just glad that I have finally found a therapist that I can gell with. Orlando is awesome.
i started therapy in December and almost 5 months in now. I feel really blessed to have Orlando as my therapist. first of all, right from the start he made me feel home, like the therapy was my safe zone and to this day it's the same. he tries to understand the issue and help find a solution, whether immediate or step by step. I absolutely love that he understands the type of person i am and the whole experience feels very personalised. he never pushes anything on you, one step at a time, whenever you're comfortable to address the topics you'd like to work on. He helped me see things from another perspective, including myself. there's so much to say about Orlando snd his way of work, but i think the most important to me is that he cares about me as his patient and tries his best in any way possible to help me. I'm glad he's my therapist and thankful for his help. i know if i suddenly think i don't have anyone who'd care about me and my thoughts, he will and he'll be there to not just listen but help me too.
He is proactive and flexible
Orlando is both great at listening and providing practical advice. He responds on the app and has already helped me a huge amount in just a few sessions. Would highly recommend.
Orlando is a great listener. He pays great attention to your need & share his perspective very respectfully. It is not one way it is interactive. I like that about him. If time is up but you are in great need /pain he will not hung up on you rather he will make sure you are ok b4 closing. I love his dedication. Great professionally !
Orlando is the best therapist I ever had! Thanks so much!
Great listener and helper of ALL issues I came to him with. Very attentive and provided great advice, particularly supportive in me improving emotional intelligence and helping me to navigate my chosen career.
I found Orlando to be very helpful and supportive. I would recommend him to others.
Orlando is a great listener, with a wealth of experience and non-judgmental ,calming presence. I look forward to our sessions every time
Friendly, polite and caring. Allows you to work at your own pace and is very supportive. Highly recommend him.
Orlando is by far the best therapist I could’ve asked for. He is amazing at connecting, communicating and asking very thought provoking questions. Can not recommend him enough.
I feel very fortunate to have been matched with Orlando as my therapist. He is extremely considerate and conscientious in his approach. He takes notes and remembers a lot from our previous sessions, and gives a very practical advice up be implemented in life. I can see that he genuinely cares about his clients. A big thank you from a happy ongoing client
Orlando has helped me both understand and better myself in ways I never imagined. He really hears me and helps me get to the root of my problems and walks me through understanding my own emotions
First session was great. I’m looking forward to what else we can explore and unpack.
I would highly recommend Orlando. He is very easy to talk to, very understanding and knowledgable and has helped me a lot. He gets what I am saying even at times when I am not sure myself what I am trying to say!
Orlando kindly took the time to connect with me and learn about my experiences. I feel like he really listens when we speak, and I find his responses and commentary so thoughtful, that it really helps me reflect and come to my own conclusions. I look forward to our sessions and feel like I'm speaking with a friend
Wonderful person. Sessions with him fell like a safe place immediately, he's having a very warm, open and welcoming approach, i feel listened to, cared for, absolutely not judged. he tries to dive in understand the core issues, but if you don't feel comfortable talking about something - you can do it either when you feel comfortable, or not talk about it at all. I have been wanting to do the therapy for years and i feel lucky to have Orlando as my therapist.
Orlando is a breath of fresh air for my mind.
Orlando is very attentive, he remembers everything I say to him. His words are very clear and encouraging. He is very patient and empathetic, using different methods to help me with the areas of my life that needs improvement and healing. Thanks so much, Orlando!
I actually feel listened too, not judged or anything as it’s really chill
Orlando has been an incredible help already and I am feeling very confident in our journey together towards not only my wellbeing goals but my business goals and personal mission as well. He has been able to strongly identify what I need from our time together and focuses on practical support as well as filtering in a lot of empathy, compassion and encouragement throughout our sessions. I am so pleased to have reached out for support and to have been connected with Orlando, he has a wonderful spirit and I would highly recommend him as a therapist.
I’ve had a few sessions with Orlando so far and have been impressed by how undeserving and extremely empathetic he is as a therapist. He takes into consideration of what I need and comfortable with. I look forward to making a further progress with him in the coming weeks
Orlando gets to grips with the issues very well, is sympathetic and encouraging. A real gem.
Orlando is loving and patient
Orlando is a very insightful person and he understands exactly what I’m going through and has successfully pointed me in the right direction… I still have a lot to work on but Orlando is helping me.
He is an amazing person
Orlando helped me get from a state of being all over emotionally to being centered in a very practical way. He has vast knowledge and tool at his disposal which is very helpful. Highly recommend.
Orlando's approach is so supportive. Having tried counselling before I was sceptical what I would get out of it, although I was struggling with mental health and relationship issues, it took me a long time to sign-up, mainly as I was desperate as nothing was helping me improve. The weekly sessions I have with Orlando are a huge help, combination of reflecting on how my week has gone and my past have generated so many useful insights in a short space of time. Orlando supports me to understand how i may respond to my emotions, thoughts in a more healthy way, providing encouragement to make real change. I know I have some way to go, to change the habits of my lifetime, but I am confident that through regular sessions with Orlando, I will go onto enjoy life in a way I can only imagine right now.
So far, I’m very satisfied with my sessions. I’m confident and happy with the direction the sessions are going. I can feel a different personally and look forward to my sessions.
