I had thought about therapy for a long time but was always apprehensive as I wasn’t sure how much I could open up with a therapist. I chose Stephen from the wide variety of therapists available. After reading his profile I got good vibes from him and I wasn’t wrong. Stephen is helping me work through my grief after losing my lovely dog and is also helping me with my anxiety which I have suffered from since childhood. Stephen is a great listener and never judges, he always has great insights and a perspective I never considered before. I come away from our sessions feeling uplifted. I would highly recommend Stephen.

About me
Hi, my name is Stephen,
Life isn’t always straightforward, and as happens for many people, life changing events led me to experience counselling for myself for the first time. And to say I was apprehensive about opening myself up to a ‘stranger’ would be quite an understatement!

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.
