Online counselling 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 counselling is generally more affordable than in-person counselling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counselling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
