ieso is working in partnership with the NHS. Your NHS Talking Therapies service will discuss the option of video therapy with you and make a referral to ieso where suitable. Our qualified clinicians have been helping people with their mental health through confidential, one-to-one, conversations for over a decade. Our patients tell us therapy makes it easier to open up and reflect on their thoughts and behaviours than if they were sat in front of a clinician.
Whenever you’re ready to start your therapy, we’re ready to help.

Video therapy is similar to face-to-face therapy, only instead of talking to a therapist in the same room you will meet via a secure video call.
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.
A confidential space where you will meet with your therapist and message in between your sessions.
We know emails often get lost or missed when sitting in our inbox, which is why we will contact you through SMS. You can choose and book your therapy sessions once you self-refer, with your first one-to-one session taking place in a matter of days.

Once you have been referred for online therapy by your NHS Talking Therapies service, you will need to register with ieso to activate your account and complete your questionnaires. We will then find the best clinician for your needs.
Chat with your clinician. Your clinician will create a treatment programme designed just for you and will help you set goals, break down problems and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns.
Between sessions you’ll use the new skills your clinician has taught you in real life. Your clinician will track your progress using questionnaires.
Your clinician will help you monitor change and target the most persistent and upsetting areas.
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.
Here's how video therapy with ieso compares with other forms of mental health support.
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.
You will receive an SMS with a link to select a session time that suits you, and to book your first session with your clinician. All future sessions after your initial one will be arranged and confirmed with your clinician via messaging in the therapy room. Nothing else will be required of you (other than to make a note in your own diary of the day and time agreed with your clinician). Your first session is usually a maximum of 10 working days from sign-up (though in very busy periods it can take a little longer).
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.
You will meet your therapist online at a time that suits you, so you can attend treatment sessions from wherever you want. This means you won't have to travel, take time off work or explain your situation to your employer.
We totally understand that when you just want some help, completing questionnaires can be frustrating. We wish there was another effective way. Unfortunately, we can’t safely allocate you a clinician and start your treatment until all the assigned questionnaires are complete.
The questionnaires help your clinician understand you and your current state of mind. And they’ll help you to check your progress and flag up any problems. The NHS also requires everyone to complete these questionnaires. This is why, throughout your therapy, you'll be asked to complete the questionnaires before each session.
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.
After your therapy sessions have ended, you’ll be able to log in to the ieso site for 20 years after discharge, allowing you to access all of your sessions, messages and goals to remind yourself of the skills you’ve learnt. If you find yourself feeling worse again or experiencing new difficulties, you can go back and use this information. However, you are welcome to return to therapy if you are still struggling. *
*Provided you’re still registered with a GP in an area where we’re contracted by the NHS.
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.
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.
ieso clinicians are committed to a lifetime of learning about the techniques, tools and treatments that help people recover. We’re united by a passion for continually getting better, so we can help people get better.
