The benefits of typed therapy

Like face-to-face therapy, our sessions are one-to-one and confidential.

Unlike face-to-face therapy, our text-based online therapy has all of the following benefits:

Flexible

Appointments are available seven days a week, 6am - 11pm, and can be scheduled to suit you.

Accessible everywhere

Do your sessions anywhere — all you need is a device that connects to the internet.

Time-saving

No need to travel, so less hassle and less wasted time.

Confidential

Text with your therapist via a secure online platform. As the sessions are typed, no one will overhear your conversation.

Guidance beyond therapy

Learn practical skills that you can use in real life. Maintain your progress by accessing past sessions and activities in your account even after you've finished therapy.

Life friendly

We fit sessions around your commitments.

Get started quickly

The time between sign-up and your first session is a matter of days rather than months.

Support between sessions

You can message with your therapist in-between sessions for support with tasks.

What we treat

From trouble sleeping to anxiety to depression, mental health problems can affect many of us in different ways. ieso therapists treat a range of common mental health symptoms.




What people say

We've helped thousands of people feel better.
Here are their stories of recovery and growth.

Patient testimonial
I was initially unsure about online therapy and how it would work, but the rapport with my online therapist was soon built. I can honestly say that from the work I undertook at the beginning of my sessions, my progress, even over a short number of weeks, was really noticeable.”
Amelia, Buckinghamshire
Patient testimonial
CBT was a totally new experience for me, and I had no idea of what to expect. It turned out to be helpful in understanding exactly the nature of my problem, and I was led to realise how best to address it.”
Linda, Cambridgeshire
Patient testimonial
It is easy to do because you can just use a computer from home. Appointments are flexible, even 11pm was ok.”
Kieran, Isle of Wight
Patient testimonial
I found it better than a face to face session as I had time to formulate answers. And don’t worry about spelling mistakes they are not an issue.”

People often ask us...

It’s natural to have an interest in your treatment. People often want to know what we do, how it works and whether it will work for them. Here’s our take on some of the questions we often come across.

How long before I feel better?

ieso doesn’t provide a pre-set number of sessions. We offer you the right number of sessions needed for your treatment. Practicing the CBT techniques you will learn between therapy sessions will help you feel the benefit more quickly. But, as a rough guide, we can typically address mental health issues like anxiety and depression in 4-12 sessions.

What is the platform like? Is it hard to use?

The platform is simple to navigate, so even if you don’t consider yourself an expert in technology, if you can surf the internet you’ll be okay. Our therapy is accessible via computer, tablet or smartphone. When you first log into the ieso platform there are helpful guides which you may wish to read before you start your therapy sessions, including “Online therapy guidelines”. Our Patient Services team are available to help if you have any issues with the platform, Monday-Friday, 9am-5:30pm.

How does access through the NHS work?

In many areas of the UK our service is free for NHS patients. 

You can quickly check here if our therapy is available in your area.
  
If it is, then you simply have to visit your GP to ask them to refer you to us, or – in some areas, such as Surrey, Doncaster, Rotherham or West Kent – you’ll be able to save time and refer yourself directly.

When can I schedule my appointment?

You can schedule an appointment around your availability, including early in the morning, during the evening and at the weekend.

How will I receive messages from my therapist?

As we’re an online therapy service, the communication you have with your therapist is through written messages on our therapy website. 

They’ll send you a message through the therapy website to set up the first appointment rather than calling you. Don’t worry, whenever your therapist messages you or sets up an appointment, you’ll receive a notification email. 

Using the email, login to the platform to view the message or appointment. And, if you’re not receiving notifications, check your spam folder.

Our qualified therapists have been helping people with their mental health through confidential, one-to-one, typed conversations for over a decade.

Our patients tell us typed therapy makes it easier to open up and reflect on their thoughts and behaviours than if they were sat in front of a therapist.

Whenever you’re ready to start your typed therapy, we’re ready to help.

ieso is free and available to many NHS patients across the UK. It only takes a minute or two to check if typed cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is available to you.

Why typed therapy?

Typed therapy takes place online, so you won’t need to miss work or travel anywhere. Choose a time convenient for you to type with your therapist. Before each session, your therapist will check in with how you are, so we can tailor your treatment to be as effective as possible.

Between sessions, we’ll ask you to keep a journal and do thinking exercises to help develop positive, long-term habits. Research shows a little work leads to better recovery and can help keep you feeling well after your therapy sessions have ended.

How it works

Our patients tell us typed therapy makes it easier to open up and reflect on their thoughts and behaviours than if they were sat in front of a therapist. The additional benefits of typed therapy include:

Flexible - appointments are available seven days a week, 6am – 11pm
Confidential - no video calling, just typing
No travel required - accessible from anywhere - all you need is a device that connects to the internet
Life friendly – access therapy in your own time. We fit sessions around your commitments
Guidance beyond therapy - learn practical CBT skills to use in day-to-day life
Try typed therapy

This is typed therapy...

Being able to do therapy through messaging helped me to open up more as I find talking difficult, but typing allowed me to think and process what I wanted to say.

What people say

We’ve helped thousands of people feel better.
Here are their stories of recovery and growth.

My therapist was extremely professional and understanding and taught me excellent techniques to use. Sessions were online, and it was easy to message my therapist in between appointments.

Melanie

My therapist at ieso has helped me hugely to combat my anxiety issues and plan my career moving forwards to obtain a better work-life balance. I was falling into bad cycles of negativity and without her help, I think I would still be there. Now following the CBT therapy, I feel I am more able to understand what I am feeling when anxiety strikes, and I have strategies to deal with it.

Billy

The text-based service is perfect for what I needed, I could fit it around other commitments easily. My therapist was great, and I genuinely feel so much better than when I started!

Terrie

I initially was a bit sceptical about the therapy as I did not think communicating by messages via the platform would suit me, but in fact it did as it gave me more time to think, and more anonymity to say how I really felt without the fear of being judged.

Manue

Was great to talk to someone once a week who listened and actioned your worries and anxieties with tasks for the week and how to overcome them. I am in a much better place and have been given the resources and information to carry on by myself.

Alfie

I was initially unsure about online therapy and how it would work, but the rapport with my online therapist was soon built. I can honestly say that from the work I undertook at the beginning of my sessions, my progress, even over a short number of weeks, was really noticeable.
