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.

She is very professional, attentive and is very good at guiding me to find the answrts for myself. I think she is great.
Tabassum has been kind and compassionate to help me along my journey of healing. She makes me feel safe, and respected in our dialogue and she is able to undertand my situation and my goals well. She is able to listen attentively and offer relevant exercises or practises to improve my situation and challenge some of my limiting beliefs at an appropriate intensity and pace. I would highly recommend Tabassum!
She is lovely. My therapist listened to my concerns and often helped me delve into spaces I didn’t think she could. I felt seen and understood. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to work with her.
