Therapy for you, or for the two of you
Weekly talk therapy, online, with a BACP registered therapist. Fifty minutes, the same time each week, for as long as it is doing something.
Whether you are coming on your own or with a partner, the first step is the same. A one hour assessment with a senior member of the team, who works out who you should be seeing. No GP referral, no waiting list, and most people begin within a week.
Most of our work is in English, and several of our therapists also work in their first language. See languages
For you
Individual therapy
From £50 a session
One to one, weekly, online. For the Sunday evening tightening, the low weight that will not lift, something from the past that still decides things now, or the stretch where you cannot work out what you want any more.
About individual therapyFor the two of you
Couples therapy
From £125 a session
For the same argument for the third time this month, or the silence that has replaced it. Both of you in the room, online, working on what each of you is trying to say underneath it.

Who it is for
Some of this may sound familiar
People arrive on their own, or with a partner. Either way, you are welcome here.
Individual therapy
- A tightness that arrives on Sunday evening and does not leave.
- A low, flat weight you cannot explain to the people around you.
- Something from the past that still decides what you do now.
- A mind that will not slow down, and a suspicion it might be ADHD.

- The same argument for the third time this month.
- A quiet that has replaced the arguments.
- Distance since a baby, a move or a loss.
- Desire that no longer matches, and no easy way to say so.

-
Anxiety
Anxiety, stress and feeling stuck
The Sunday evening tightening. Lying awake rerunning a conversation that ended hours ago. Panic that arrives uninvited, or the quieter kind, where nothing is wrong and you feel less. We work out what keeps it going, then what loosens it.

Low mood & trauma
Low mood, and what lingers
The flat, heavy weight that arrives for no reason you can name, or years after something from childhood. Getting through the day, feeling very little. We go at your pace. You never have to say more than you want to.

Couples
Arguing in the same circles
The same argument, in the same words, for the third time this month. Or the silence that has replaced it. We work with both of you in the room, on what each of you is really trying to say underneath.
More on couples therapy -
Intimacy
Trust, distance and coming closer
Infidelity, a gap in wanting, or closeness that has slipped down the list. Whether you are repairing this or ending it kindly, you do not have to decide before you start. Sex and intimacy work is part of this too.

Three steps, and about a week
No GP referral, no waiting list. Most people begin weekly sessions within a week of their assessment.

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.

The people you would actually be talking to
Experienced therapists and closely supervised trainees, working online with individuals and couples across London and the UK. Whether it is anxiety, low mood, trauma, ADHD or strain in a relationship, we match you with someone who has sat with it before.
Founded in 2011 by psychotherapist Anh Doan. Every enquiry is read by a person, and every new client is matched by that same person. Nothing here is decided by a form.
Meet the team
Anh Doan
Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor
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.

Questions people ask before booking
About online therapy, couples work, and what happens when you get in touch.
How does online therapy work, and is it as good as meeting in person?
You meet your therapist on secure video, from wherever you feel comfortable and private. Once you have booked, you are sent everything you need to join. All you need is a phone, tablet or laptop with a camera, and a connection that holds.
For most of what brings people to therapy, including anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and trauma, online is a good fit, and many people find it easier to open up in their own space. If it would not be right for what you are carrying, we will say so honestly at your assessment.
Should I come on my own, or with my partner?
Either can be the right place to start. If what hurts is between the two of you, such as the same argument on repeat, a loss of closeness or trust that has been damaged, couples therapy is usually where to begin. If you are carrying something of your own, such as anxiety, low mood or the past, individual therapy gives you that room.
You do not have to decide before you book. Tell us what is going on at your assessment and we will talk through what fits. If your partner is not ready to come, you can begin on your own and bring them in later.
How does couples therapy work online?
Both of you join the same session on secure video, from the same room or from separate places, whichever suits you. Your therapist works with the two of you as they would in a room, at a pace that stays calm when things get heated.
Online often makes it easier to begin, because there is no travel across London, no childcare to arrange and no waiting for a free evening that suits two diaries. It starts with a one hour assessment for £50. Sessions after that are £125 with a supervised trainee relationship counsellor or £250 with a fully qualified therapist.
Will the therapist take sides? And is couples therapy only for couples who want to stay together?
No to both. In couples therapy the relationship is the client, not either of you individually, so your therapist is not there to rule on who is right. If it ever feels as though they are leaning one way, say so in the session. That is useful information, not a complaint.
It is also not a commitment to stay. If one of you is close to leaving and the other is not, we give you somewhere to slow the decision down and understand what each of you wants. And if you decide to separate, therapy can help you do it with less damage, especially where there are children.
What do you help with?
For individuals: anxiety and stress, low mood and depression, trauma and what it leaves behind, and ADHD in adults.
For couples: communication that has broken down, trust after betrayal, growing distance, pressure from parenting and family, and sex and intimacy. If what you are facing is not on that list, it may still be something we can help with. The assessment is where we find out, and we will tell you honestly if someone else would suit you better.
What happens in the first hour, and who will I see?
The assessment is a relaxed one hour conversation for £50. There is no GP referral and no waiting list, and most people begin within a week. You talk about what has brought you, what you would like to feel different, and who you would find easiest to open up to.
After that, a person here, not a form, matches you with a therapist. If the fit is not right, we move you at no charge, and there is no obligation to continue after the assessment.
Is a trainee counsellor right for me?
Often, yes. Our trainees are counsellors in accredited training, supervised every week by our clinical lead, so your work is looked after by two minds, not one. The fee is lower, £50 for individual sessions and £125 for couples, which means you can keep going for as long as it helps.
For some specialist work we may suggest a qualified therapist instead, and we will tell you that at your assessment rather than let you find out later. If your needs change along the way, we can look at the match again.
How much does therapy cost?
The assessment is £50 for one hour. After that, individual sessions are £50 with a supervised trainee counsellor or £125 with a fully qualified therapist. Couples sessions are £125 with a supervised trainee or £250 with a fully qualified therapist.
Every fee is set out on our fees page. If cost is the thing standing in your way, tell us when you book and we will talk it through.
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.
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.
