Know What You’re Looking For
Before you start searching for online counselling, take some time to think about what you want to work on. Whether it’s managing anxiety, a big life change or getting some stress management tools, being clear on your goals can help you find an online therapist who meets your needs.
If you’re not sure—that’s okay too! Sometimes, just having a safe space to let it all out and sort through your feelings can give you clarity.
Start Speed Dating
Okay, so you won’t really be speed dating—but you get the idea—but it’s important to know you don’t have to stick with the first therapist you meet. Our Perfect Match Promise grants you peace of mind; if you don’t gel with your therapist after the first or second session, we’ll match you with a new one and cover the cost of the next session.
Use your first session to get a feel for their style, and don’t be afraid to ask questions like:
- What’s your experience with (your specific issue)?
- Are there any specific techniques you like to use?
- How would you describe your approach?
- How will we be working together?
This mini “get to know you” can help you gauge if they’re a good match.
We know matching with an online therapist isn’t always a one-hit wonder, so if you don’t vibe in the first two sessions, we’ll rematch you, and your next session will be on us.
Trust Your Gut Feeling
Sometimes, all the credentials and specialisations won’t matter as much as how you feel when talking to them.
Trust your gut—if you feel heard, supported, and understood, that’s a great sign. Therapy works best when there’s a sense of connection, so don’t settle if you’re feeling lukewarm. The right fit will just feel right.
If therapy from your couch sounds like a dream come true, you’re in the right place. With online counselling, you have more freedom to fit sessions into your schedule.
