Online therapy is a welcoming and accessible way to speak with a qualified therapist from a space that feels comfortable for you. It offers the same level of care and connection as in-person appointments, delivered through secure video or telephone counselling.
This approach works well if you want consistent mental health support without travelling, need flexibility around work or home life, or feel more at ease opening up in familiar surroundings.
Life can become heavy long before you reach out for help. You may be coping with anxiety, low mood, a sense of being overwhelmed, relationship tension, and uncertainty about the future. Private online therapy gives you the space to pause, reflect and talk things through with a professional therapist who listens without judgment.
At The Talking Rooms, you work with highly experienced and qualified online therapists who support you at your own pace and help you develop tools that improve your mental well-being.
Online therapy is suitable for adults and teenagers over 12, offering a compassionate pathway to mental health support that adapts to your everyday life.

How Our Online Therapy Service Works
Online therapy at The Talking Rooms is designed to feel personal, calm and grounded. Your therapy sessions take place with a chosen therapist who understands your needs. You can choose to have your sessions via secure video or telephone counselling, whichever feels most comfortable to you.
What You Can Explore in Therapy
You might come to therapy because you are experiencing:
- Anxiety, persistent worry, panic or a sense of being overwhelmed
- Low mood, depression, or sadness
- Relationship challenges or communication concerns
- Work-related stress, burnout or feeling stuck
- Grief or emotional difficulties linked to past or present events
- Self-esteem issues or unhelpful thinking patterns
You do not need a label, a diagnosis, or a perfect explanation. If something is affecting your life, it is something worth discussing.
Who You Will Work With
Certain therapists online at The Talking Rooms are accredited to governing bodies such as BABCP, BACP or COSCA, and you are supported by highly trained professionals who work to recognised standards.
During your initial consultation, you speak with a qualified clinician rather than a sales team, which makes it easier to find the right therapist who feels like a good fit.
You will receive support from someone trained to guide you through therapeutic approaches such as:
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Person-centred counselling
- Integrative approaches
This helps you begin building trust and makes it easier to choose the right therapist for your individual needs.
Our friendly team brings warmth, compassion and professional training, helping you build a trusting relationship where you can speak openly without feeling overwhelmed.
How Your Online Sessions Run
A typical session lasts around 50 minutes. You may prefer video because you enjoy the sense of face-to-face connection, or you might choose telephone therapy because it helps you feel settled and speak more freely without the camera. Both are effective treatments.
Your therapist guides the sessions steadily, helping you make sense of your thoughts, emotions and responses. If anxiety is affecting your days, you might learn grounding exercises to steady your body and ease symptoms that feel difficult to manage alone. If low mood has taken over, online therapy may help you rebuild routines that rediscover moments of relief or motivation.
Working with an online psychotherapist can feel a bit like clearing a foggy window. At first, your thoughts may feel blurred or difficult to understand, but with the right support, clarity begins to appear. You start viewing situations with steadier eyes and responding in ways that feel healthier and more grounded.
And if you’re worried about how these sessions will work, you’ll be happy to know that our online counselling service offers:
- Privacy and Confidentiality: Your online therapy sessions use secure technology, and everything you share remains confidential. Many people tell us they feel more relaxed speaking from their own space, and you may feel the same.
- Flexibility and Accessible Support: Online therapy services across the UK make it easier for you to receive support when life feels full. Whether you are balancing work, parenting, studies, caring responsibilities or shifting schedules, online therapy gives you access to support that fits into your days.
We aim to offer appointments within five days of referral, helping you receive timely care when you need it most.
If you decide to continue after your free initial consultation, your therapist will arrange an assessment session to understand your goals and outline a personalised therapy plan.

Benefits of Online Counselling
Online therapy offers more than a convenient setup. It helps you work through emotional challenges with consistency, stability and tools that become part of your daily life.
Building Emotional Regulation
Since you attend sessions from your everyday environment, you can practice techniques in real time. Tools like thought reframing, grounding or breathing exercises become part of your routines, helping you manage difficult moments more confidently.
Support That Helps You Open Up Sooner
Many people notice they feel more relaxed online than in an unfamiliar therapy room. Being in your own environment can lower the emotional barriers that make it hard to share openly. This often leads to deeper conversations earlier in the process.
Consistent Care That Fits Your Routine
Whether you are managing irregular work hours, caring for children or balancing multiple responsibilities, online therapy gives you predictable time for yourself. This consistently supports emotional progress because you return to the treatment with a familiar rhythm each week.
Tools You Can Choose Between Sessions
CBT works extremely well online and is highly effective as a treatment that helps you understand your reactions with more clarity. Use digital worksheets, reflective exercises or simple behavioural strategies to help you understand and shift your reactions.
Over time, these tools become part of your treatment and help you respond with more calm, clarity and confidence.
Continuity Wherever You Are
If you travel, move homes or simply prefer support from your own space, online psychotherapy services let you continue working with your chosen therapist without interruption. Your progress stays consistent, even when life around you changes.
Assertive Communication Skills
Sometimes anger arises when your needs or feelings have not been expressed. Active communication can help you communicate calmly and clearly without confrontation.
These skills can help reduce conflict, support healthier connections and prevent emotions from building to a point where anger becomes overwhelming.
