Recent reviews
We were working for more than two months with Rukhsana and achieved great results what I didn't achieve before doing therapy for over a year in another place. What I like is that she always try to use well known practices and methods that really go to the core of my problems. My main issue was marriage related, thanks to Rukhsana I understood myself better and she helped my to understand my husband better and she advised me about the things I should discuss with my husband to clarify things between us. It really helped and I am happy that I am feeling in a better place now! Thanks God we have great therapists that can help people!

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.

I found Rukhsana Khan to be very competent in her work. She was able to understand where I come from and while I am still continuing sessions with her, I am optimistic that I would get rid of my problems and have a strong mental health
She is a very patient and understanding therapist, I especially like the calmness surrounding her aura. She does not overpush her patients, but lets things unfold with ease.
Every session with Rukhsana is productive. She makes me feel heard and understood. We dig deeper into my childhood and also current challenges which is so helpful in healing and understanding myself more. I would highly recommend Rukhsana as a specialist, 5 stars!
Professional yet comforting and constructive approach to our sessions creating a safe space to explore.
Rukhsana is a wonderful person, she doesn’t beat around the bush and tells me exactly how it is whilst also being really kind and understanding.
She is an incredible therapist with so much knowledge. She can accurately and entirely understand my problem and help me find a solution whilst also being empathetic and a good listener. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the future.
It is so easy and good with Rukhsana Khan. She has got quite an ear to hear and her help is so on the point. It is my first time and she is certainly helping me alot in managing emotions and processing them. It has been a very good and positive experience with her
