Do you need support with your worries and anxiety?

Having a baby creates a lot of upheaval and change in your life

It’s normal to have the ‘baby blues’ for a couple of weeks after the birth, but if the symptoms persist, you could be experiencing postnatal depression, and this can last for a year or more.

If your enjoyment of being a new parent is being impacted by anxiety, worry, low mood or even depression typed therapy can help provide practical skills to use in day-to-day situations.

Why typed therapy?

Typed therapy takes place online via a secure platform. As the sessions are typed, you do not have to speak to anyone, and no one will overhear your conversation. You won't need to worry about traveling to appointments, simply find a quiet place, like the comfort of your sofa to begin your session.

Appointments are available from 6 am to 11 pm helping to work around your commitments.

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

This is typed therapy...

I found this service easily and quickly accessible when I was feeling particularly desperate. I was matched with a lovely wise and caring practitioner who I felt comfortable talking to immediately. I found that typing responses back and forth was a brilliant way to conduct our therapy sessions. I have learnt such a lot and I feel that my life has truly changed for the better with our CBT sessions

What people say

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

I was listened to, supported and guided by a professional, empathic and non judgemental therapist. I was not rushed or pushed into doing things I was not ready for e.g activities. I slowly managed to gain some self confidence and self worth which I am still working on. I am now able to slowly move forward after the trauma that took me to utilise this service.

The main thing I loved about it is that you type, so you don’t have to speak to anyone when talking about emotional experiences. There are also no awkward silences- just typing and thinking. The support I received was really great, a really great therapist who helped me overcome my issues. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for cbt.
