Hi there! I'm Anka, I'm 23 years old and I'm a trained active listener and psychologist. I'm glad you have found me here. You are always welcome to talk to me about whatever you have on your mind. Most of my experience is in the areas of anxiety, depression, emotion management, self-harm, family stress and parenting. Little bit more about me: I like to read, travel, cook (also eat) and hang out with my dog. If you see that I'm online, feel free to start talking to me. If I'm offline you can send me a message and I'll respond as quickly as possible.

Feedback & Reviews
She was really patient and understanding... trying to figure out what was bothering me the most... she's a good listener
An amazing person with an honest heart who puts your situation into words so well without making you feel odd about it. Thank you for everything!
Talked me down from feeling like I'm in a dark tunnel. 10/10 would talk again :]
Helped a lot. Seems like a smart friend on the other end of the line.
You were a wonderful listener. Really helped me understand my own situation. The way you repeatedly asked questions to clarify really helped. Just focus on the response time, although it wasn't too bad. Thanks once again.
GentleStrength is an amazing individual. When I first began speaking, I had thought that they weren't saying much. But in their reflecting back to me, I believe it was more helping than someone giving me a "do this so it'll do that" and so on. GentleStrength, if you are reading this: Keep being amazing :)
amazing, helpful and appreciating:)
Thanks for helping me to figure out that i love dancing! That's my hobby. Thanks thanks :)
Thank you, you made me feel less alone and helped calm me down when i was in need.
This listener is attentive and gets straight to the point, which I appreciate. I also like that she gave me a choice to have a follow-up session. I could tell that she's had experience with this kind of thing and it gives me more motivation to seek her out again.
Very helpful listener! They are going to go a long way in the psychology field they are pursuing! Extremely compassionate and caring! :)
