The benefits of online therapy are now so much more well known.

Read on to hear what people are saying about their real experiences of online therapy with My Therapist Online.


An extremely convenient way to access high-quality therapy


1. Convenience: One of the main advantages of online therapy is that it allows you to receive treatment from the comfort of your own home. This can be especially helpful for those who have busy schedules or live in remote areas where access to in-person therapy may be limited.

“Practical service, I was satisfied. Online services makes our life much easier, saving time and more convenience” Sam (Feedback about My Therapist Online)

“With the flexibility and convenience of online therapy, I was able to book regular appointments to fit around my busy work/study schedule and occasional travel. My irritability went away and my mood lifted, with noticeable positive results at my job.” Anonymous

Access to a specialist

2. Access to a wider range of therapists & specialists: Online therapy platforms often have a wider range of therapists to choose from, which can be helpful for those who have specific needs or preferences.

“Access to specialists in certain aspects of mental health is an invaluable resource. They are not available in all parts of the country, or through our amazing NHS, and so making this resource easily accessible is fantastic.” Peter

“Sarah was absolutely brilliant. Very supportive, and clearly experienced in this specialist area. She has completely transformed my life, and given me my life back. I could not be happier with the outcome of my therapy.“ Anonymous (Therapist - Sarah Batty)

I was able to connect with a specialist with the expertise that I was after quickly and efficiently.” BKi (Feedback about My Therapist Online)

Therapy that works around your life


3. Flexibility: Online therapy offers more flexibility in terms of scheduling appointments around busy lifestyles and other commitments. This can also be beneficial for those who have difficulty committing to a regular in-person therapy schedule or who need to switch therapists for any reason.

“I was dubious that online therapy would give you the one to one personal experience. But it works. Its good for busy people with out the flexibility to spend time coming into an office. You can have your session in the comfort of your own home. Minimal stress or fuss to lead you on a path to a better you.” Holly

“With the flexibility and convenience of online therapy, I was able to book regular appointments to fit around my busy work/study schedule and occasional travel. My irritability went away and my mood lifted, with noticeable positive results at my job.” Anonymous

Less costs involved

4. Cost: Online therapy is often more affordable than in-person therapy, especially if you have to pay for transportation or childcare to attend sessions.

“It is very convenient and this worked for me in many ways - with both work and my social life. I would have had to visit London to get the therapy I needed for my specific phobia and Lisa helped me access the much needed specialised treatment without the cost of travel or the inconvenience of having time off from work.” Beth

“I didn’t need to pay for childcare to access a therapist. I simply had my sessions when the children were in bed, this is invaluable to a single parent needed to access therapy” Sally-Anne

“I have to say, MTO we’re great. It does take the awkwardness of cost direct with the CBT out of the appointment, and the clean basic literature is superb with a very nice warm website and introduction to helping you find the correct therapist for your needs. I found my therapist from a choice of 3 MTO gave me and it couldn’t have worked out better. Thanks MTO” EP


“MTO was a very helpful bunch to work with. I was very well-matched. This was such a good experience of working with a therapist. So many people could benefit from this, you can’t put a price on this timely sort of help.”

Super Discreet

6. Anonymity: Some people may feel more comfortable discussing sensitive topics in the privacy of their own home rather than in a public setting. Online therapy can provide a sense of anonymity that can be helpful for those who are not ready to disclose their mental health struggles to others.


“Shari instantly made me feel safe and calm. She explained things clearly and helped me see things in a different way and was always incredibly encouraging, which definitely helped me feel better. I felt I could trust her from the very first session and felt fully supported throughout. She is so kind and patient, I would highly recommend talking to Shari if you feel you need to speak to a therapist, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and feel fully prepared to experience things on my own now.” Molly (Therapist - Shari-Woolley)

“Monique has a warm, friendly and professional approach. I felt safe instantly and over the period of time Monique helped me regain my strength, self belief and joy for life.

“Rachel is truly fantastic, patient and has an innate ability to make you feel safe and secure and she is most importantly, non-judgemental.” Sarah (Therapist - Rachel Kerr-Smith)

“Baanu was absolutely fantastic throughout. She’s very skilled at getting to the bottom of behavioural challenges - when I thought something superficial was a challenge she helped me pick apart situations to really identify the belief or behaviour, why it exists and what I can do to be more aware and in control of my own out puts. At the same time I felt like I was in a safe space and could experiment with my thoughts to identify which tools and ways of thinking would be helpful.” Annabel (Therapist Baanu Baghabani-Irvine)

“Although I knew therapy was a step in the right direction, I was apprehensive in finding the right therapist for me. Within minutes of meeting Christina, I knew I was safe and could trust her to help me.” Harriet (Therapist - Christina Theodoridou)
