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.

Robert is great and I highly recommend him.
Lovely bloke. Easy to talk to.
Robert is a really engaged therapist who has helped me a lot, particularly when it comes to thinking about and implementing CBT exercises. I would recommend him to anyone experiencing similar issues to me.
I have been assigned to Robert after changing two therapists. He really really professional, empathetic very knowledgeable and most importantly is perfect for my need. He is very concrete which exactly what I need. He shared very useful tools around cbt, I do feel that he is making the difference for me. Every single session is getting more interesting and he added many prospective I never really thought of. Truly appreciate him as a therapist, he cares and that makes a difference. Thank you Robert and I look forward to continue to use my journey with you.
