How does online therapy work?

The online approach is making talking therapy more accessible. You won’t need to miss work or travel anywhere, choosing a convenient time to type or video call with your therapist, wherever and whenever you feel most comfortable.

Before each session, your therapist will check in with how you are, so they can tailor your treatment to be as effective as possible. Between sessions, your therapist will 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 to decide which modality of therapy is right for you

It's proven that typed and video therapy are just as effective as face-to-face therapy in teaching you practical skills that help you to manage your feelings so that you can feel better and live the life you want to lead.

Wondering which modality is right for you?
Here is a list of benefits of typed and video therapy for you to weigh up.

Typed Therapy

Type back and forth with your therapist, like a text conversation. Sessions last from 40-60 minutes.

Zero face-to-face contact, so no need to verbalise your feelings in front of someone, making it a good option if you struggle to open up to your GP or friends and family.

No chance of your conversation being overheard as all sessions are written not spoken

Access past typed therapy sessions and activities on your account, even after you've finished therapy

No travel required; sessions can take place anywhere that you feel most comfortable, as long as you have an internet connection

Video Therapy

Speak to your therapist via a video call so that you can see each other’s reactions and take in visual cues. Sessions last for 60 minutes.

Your therapist can screen share for in-session collaboration.

Patients have control of voice differentiation capabilities, which is suitable if you have accessibility requirements.

Listen back to audio recorded transcripts, so you can revisit your therapy for reinforced learning.

Why typed therapy?

Why video 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 clinician. Before each session, your clinician 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.

Video therapy is the same process as face-to-face therapy, only instead of talking to a clinician in the same room you will meet via a video call through ieso’s secure therapy online therapy room.

As video sessions take place online there is no need to travel, simply find a quiet place where you feel most comfortable to begin your session.
Sessions are available 7 days a week, from 6am to 11pm helping to work around your everyday life.

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.

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 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.

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 4-8 sessions.

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, Rotherham, Western Isles, Shetland and Orkney – you’ll be able to save time and refer yourself directly.

When can I schedule my appointment?

Session appointments are available 7 days a week, from 6am – 11pm so you can find a time that works best around you and your current commitments. It may be helpful when booking your first session to find a regular time that fits around your daily commitments, as this will likely be your ongoing session time for future sessions.
