You’re on your way

It is completely normal to feel a whole range of emotions before, during and after your first few sessions of typed therapy, and we want you to know that many people also feel that same way.

But first, take a moment to recognise how well you have done for taking that first step. It isn’t easy, but you’ve taken a step towards feeling much better, and you should feel proud of yourself for that.

As a reminder, sessions...

Include one-to-one typed conversations with your matched therapist

With flexible appointments to suit you

(7 days a week, 6am-11pm)

You can access support in your own time

There are no long waiting times

It's confidential

Therapy sessions take place via ieso’s secure online platform. As the sessions are typed, no one can overhear your conversation

And no travel is required

Sessions can take place anywhere you feel most comfortable, so there is no need to travel to your appointment

All you need is a device

(Smartphone, tablet or laptop) that can connect to the internet

What to expect?

We recommend finding a space where you feel most comfortable before logging in to your session.

Before each session, you will be asked to fill in a few questionnaires - these can sometimes feel repetitive but shouldn't take more than a few minutes to fill in.

Between sessions, we’ll ask you to keep a journal and do thinking exercises to help develop positive, long-term habits.

This is typed therapy...

Welcome to your therapy room

Stay connected

Once your account is setup, you will receive an SMS. Follow the link in the text message to choose and book your therapy session. We will send your questionnaire links through SMS too.
