A team of therapists, and no waiting list
We are a team of around fifteen therapists working online with adults across London and the rest of the UK. Individual therapy and couples therapy, weekly, from wherever you happen to be sitting.
People arrive here at very different points. Some in the middle of something urgent. Some because a quiet weight has been sitting there for years and they have run out of ways to put it down. You do not have to be in crisis to deserve an hour, and you do not have to justify yourself to book one. Whatever you bring, it stays here.
You can do this in your first language too
Most of our work is in English. But feelings are stubborn about language. Shame, grief, the particular kind of tired you cannot explain, and the small exact words for how something actually felt do not always survive translation.
So if you would rather not translate yourself while you are trying to be honest, several of our therapists work in their first language, including Vietnamese, Mandarin, Arabic, French and Japanese. It is one of the things we match on, alongside what you are bringing and who you would find it easiest to open up to.

What people bring to us
Four of the most common reasons adults come to us. See whether any of it sounds like your week.
Anxiety, stress and feeling stuck
The Sunday evening tightening. Lying awake rerunning a conversation that finished hours ago. Panic that turns up without being invited. Or the quieter version, where nothing is technically wrong and you have simply stopped feeling much about any of it. We work out what keeps the pattern running, then what actually loosens it.
More on anxiety counsellingADHD, autism and a mind that works differently
Holding it together all day and having nothing left by six. Being told you are too much and not enough in the same week. Late diagnosis, no diagnosis, or the slow dawning that this is simply how your mind has always run. We work with that, rather than trying to talk you into somebody else's version of coping.
More on neurodivergent therapyChildhood experience and low mood
Something that happened when you were small, and the way it still quietly decides things for you now. The flat heavy weight that arrives years later and looks like depression. We go at the pace you set. You never have to say more than you want to, and never before you are ready.
More on trauma therapyCouples and relationships
The same argument, in the same words, for the third time this month. Or the silence that has replaced it. Infidelity, intimacy, and the point where you are no longer sure whether you are repairing this or ending it kindly. We work with both of you in the room, on what each of you is trying to say underneath it.
More on couples counsellingThree steps, and about a week
No GP referral, no waiting list. Most people begin weekly sessions within a week of their assessment.

Book an assessment
One hour with a senior member of the team. You do not need to have it worked out, or say it well, or start at the beginning. Come with the mess and we will help you sort through it.

We match you by hand
On what you are bringing, on the approach that suits it, on whether you would rather sit with a man or a woman, and on language if that matters to you. If the fit turns out to be wrong we move you. That part is on us, not on you.

Begin weekly sessions
Fifty minutes, online, the same time each week, for as long as it is doing something. Most people start within a week of the assessment.

The people you would actually be talking to
Around fifteen qualified therapists, clinical supervisors and closely supervised trainees, working online with adults across London and the rest of the UK. Between us we hold specialist training in anxiety, ADHD and autism, childhood trauma, and couples work.
Founded in 2011 by psychotherapist Anh Doan, and deliberately kept small. Every enquiry is read by a person, and every new client is matched by that same person. Nothing here is decided by a form.

Anh Doan
Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor
Fifteen years in practice, trauma informed and ACT based. Anh leads the clinical work here, supervises every trainee weekly, and reads every enquiry that comes in. Her own specialist work is with complex trauma, including survivors of trafficking and modern slavery. She says it more plainly than any of this: people do not need to arrive articulate, they need to arrive somewhere they will be understood.
What you are actually getting
Every therapist is registered
BACP, UKCP, COSRT or BPS, working to the BACP Ethical Framework.
Every trainee is supervised
Directly, by our clinical lead, every week. Lower fee, same standards, same framework.
No waiting list, no referral
You do not need to go through your GP. Most people begin therapy within a week.
Matched by a person, not a form
On what you are bringing, the approach, and who you would find it easiest to open up to. If the fit is wrong we move you, at no charge.
Devon Hanna
"I started counselling during a tumultuous time, navigating significant change and uncertainty. Anh made sure I was paired with a therapist who made me feel comfortable, safe and heard. I have now completed over eighteen months of weekly sessions."
What people said afterwards
"12 sessions of counselling from Yujia — helped me more than I could imagine. Anh paired me with someone who shares my East Asian cultural background. Very rare to find, and I'm deeply grateful."
"Very professional, and my therapist Tianshan was amazing. Definitely will go to her again, absolute star."
"My first time doing therapy. I felt safe and supported and grateful to have the time and space to go deep."

Questions people ask before booking
The things people tell us they were wondering about, before they got in touch.
Do I need a GP referral for online therapy?
Do I need a GP referral for online therapy?
No. You can book directly with us. Most people have their assessment within a few days and begin weekly sessions within a week of that.
What sort of things do you work with?
What sort of things do you work with?
Anxiety, stress and burnout, ADHD and autism in adults, childhood trauma, depression and low mood, couples and relationships, and the periods where you cannot work out what you want your life to look like. If you are not sure whether yours counts, it counts. Book the assessment and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people.
Do you work with ADHD and autistic adults?
Do you work with ADHD and autistic adults?
Yes, and without asking you to mask your way through the session. Several of our therapists work specifically with neurodivergent adults, whether you have a formal diagnosis, are waiting for one, or have simply recognised yourself in it. We are a therapy practice rather than an assessment service, so we work with the living of it, not the diagnosing.
What if I cannot find the words?
What if I cannot find the words?
Then you say that, and we start there. You will not be asked to perform, to have it organised, or to talk about anything before you are ready. Plenty of first sessions begin with someone saying they do not know where to begin, and that turns out to be a perfectly good place to begin.
How much does therapy cost?
How much does therapy cost?
The assessment is £50 for one hour. Sessions after that are £50 with a supervised trainee counsellor or £125 with a fully qualified therapist. Couples sessions are £125 and £250. Every fee is listed in full above.
Still have a question
Send us a message and we will get back to you within one working day. You do not have to explain much to start.
