Online therapy

Therapy from your own safe environment. Online therapy is proven just as effective as face-to-face treatment.

What is Online therapy?

Online therapy, conducted via video call, has grown enormously. Research consistently shows that online CBT, EMDR and other evidence-based therapies are as effective as face-to-face treatment for most conditions.

For many people, online therapy removes important barriers: no travel time, flexible scheduling, and access to specialists who aren't available locally.

Evidence base: Meta-analyses show effect sizes for internet-delivered CBT comparable to face-to-face therapy for anxiety, depression and burnout (Andrews et al., 2010; Carlbring et al., 2018).

How does it work?

No travel, no waiting room

You connect from wherever you feel most comfortable, eliminating a practical barrier that often delays people from starting therapy.

All evidence-based therapies

CBT, EMDR, ACT, schema therapy all translate effectively to online formats. The therapeutic relationship, the most important factor, is equally strong online.
