Hi,
Welcome to my profile.
If you're feeling nervous about starting therapy, that's completely understandable. You don't need to know how to begin, -we can simply start where you are and take one step at a time.
You may have been coping on your own for a while, perhaps finding it hard to stop worrying, feeling low or overwhelmed, perhaps grieving or reacting in ways that you don't fully understand. Whatever has brought you here, I'm glad that you found your way to my profile.
I have many years of experience in helping in these areas and many more, including social anxiety, low self confidence, relationship difficulties, blended families, ADHD, and the many challenges that life can bring
I offer a warm, understanding and non-judgemental space, where you can be yourself, and truly listened to and understood, Together, we can make sense of what's happening, how you're feeling,
and we can explore new perspectives, develop practical skills and find strategies that can help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Every person is different, so it's important that I tailor our sessions to your individual needs. Whether you need someone to listen, gentle support to understand yourself better, or practical tools and strategies to help you create change, we'll work together in the way that suits you best.
I look forward to meeting you, and doing my best to support you
Very best wishes, Erica

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.
