Online therapy

Talk to a licensed therapist by video, from a place where you feel comfortable. Regular sessions, the same therapist each time, and a plan that is about you.

What online therapy is

Therapy is regular, private conversation with a trained professional who helps you understand what you are going through and find ways forward. Online, it works the same way – just by video, so there is no commute and no waiting room.

What therapy can help with

  • Anxiety and worry

    Racing thoughts, panic and constant tension.

  • Low mood and depression

    Feeling flat, hopeless or not like yourself.

  • Stress and big changes

    Work, money, moves, loss and grief.

  • Relationships

    Family, partners and the people around you.
