Typed therapy takes place online, so you can choose a time that works 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.
Welcome to your therapy room
A confidential space where you will meet and message with your therapist during and in between your sessions.

How do I know if typed therapy is right for me?
What people say
We’ve helped thousands of people feel better.
Here are their stories of recovery and growth.
I felt comfortable taking with my therapist. The homework I had made sense, and it did help... and it continues to help. We explored my past, and I became more aware of my triggers and began to analyse my fears more productively.
The weekly sessions were structured and focused. The exercises really helped me understand how my brain was working in a negative way. I was able to think through the sessions with no pressure.
I found joining sessions on my phone simple and easy. It also allowed me to work therapy around my life, as you can pick a suitable day and time for you.
The activities helped me to understand the cycle I was in and gave me the skills to learn how to get out of that cycle.
Everything was carried out with the utmost professionalism. My therapist was kind, patient and at no point did I feel uncomfortable explaining my situation.
Typed therapy worked well for me. I could arrange the sessions at a time that suited me. I felt at ease in my own home so was able to be open and honest without feeling judged
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.
Typed CBT is exactly the same as face-to-face CBT, other than that the conversation is typed on your computer. You’re still in a one-to-one conversation with a fully qualified clinician, usually for 60 minutes. The only difference is that you type your responses.
Evidence shows that people recover just as well through typed CBT. There are several reasons for this, including: starting treatment sooner; feeling able to express their thoughts more clearly through typing; feeling more comfortable having therapy discreetly and at their location of choice; and being able to re-read the conversation from the appointments with their clinician at any time.
If you choose online therapy, it will be offered instead of face-to-face therapy. Once you start treatment, you would no longer have a place on the longer waiting list.
Typed services are delivered by ieso, the UK’s leading provider of online, one-to-one CBT to the NHS.
You can schedule your appointments flexibly at times that best suit you, including evenings and weekends.
Yes, you will continue to receive therapy from the same dedicated clinician until you finish your treatment with ieso.
The wait for face-to-face therapy is roughly XX months from your referral date.
If you prefer to wait for face-to-face treatment, we anticipate your wait will be approximately XXXX further months from the date of this letter.
ieso’s patient services team are happy to discuss any aspect of online therapy with you. Please call ieso on 0800 074 5560 (9am – 5.30pm weekdays).
