Learn more about BetterHelp

What is online therapy?

Online therapy is a form of mental health support delivered remotely though video calls, phone sessions, or messaging, allowing you to to connect with a qualified therapist from wherever you are. With platforms like BetterHelp, you can get matched with a therapist in the UK based on your preferences while also accessing features such as messaging between sessions, guided journaling, and structured tools.

Clear pricing, no surprises

BetterHelp's online therapy services in the UK cost between just £35 to £75 per week, billed weekly or monthly, and include the following:

No hidden fees with clear, upfront pricing

Unlimited messaging with your therapist between sessions

One live session each week via video, audio, or online chat

The ability to switch therapists at any time at no extra cost

No long-term commitment with the option to pause or cancel at any time

Pricing is based on factors such as your location, referral source, preferences, therapist availability, and any applicable discounts or promotions that might apply. Read our guide on therapy costs in the UK.

Flexibility

You can choose between video, audio, and online chat options for each weekly live session. BetterHelp also offers scheduling flexibility, with appointments available outside of typical business hours. Subscriptions can be paused or cancelled at any time.

Availability

BetterHelp is fully online, making it a convenient and reachable option for those with few mental health professionals in their local areas, as well as individuals with disabilities, busy schedules, a lack of reliable transportation, or social anxiety symptoms. All you need is a personal device and a strong internet connection. According to BetterHelp's 2026 UK stigma report, concerns about judgment and stigma can still prevent many people from seeking mental health support, highlighting the importance of flexible and online therapy options.

Efficacy

A growing body of research shows that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship challenges. A 2019 study specifically looking at BetterHelp users found that their depression symptoms were significantly reduced after three months of engaging with the platform.

Large network of therapists

Over 5,000 therapists on the BetterHelp platform are based in the UK, helping ensure availability across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. With so many mental health providers available, it can be simple to find one who has experience helping others with challenges similar to yours. Plus, you can switch therapists at any time (and at no additional cost) until you find the right match.

Advanced matching system

Your BetterHelp subscription doesn't just include a weekly live session with a credentialed therapist. You can also use in-app messaging to communicate with your therapist outside of sessions, keep track of your progress with goal-setting, habit-tracking, and journaling tools, attend virtual webinars and support groups, and complete online worksheets to support the therapy process.

Additional features

Along with a weekly live session for mental health support, you can contact your therapist outside of sessions via in-app messaging. Your therapist will respond when able. You can also take advantage of features like online journaling, goal- and habit-tracking tools, support groups, classes, and worksheets.

- Review from BetterHelp user

Are BetterHelp therapists qualified and registered in the UK?

Yes, all BetterHelp therapists in the UK are qualified, registered professionals with verified training and supervised experience. Only around one-third of applicants are accepted to the platform and each must complete a case study graded by a professional clinician.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Yes, online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy for many common mental health concerns, such as anxiety and depression. A 2022 meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of teletherapy, found that client outcomes do not differ between teletherapy and in-person therapy.

Are online therapy sessions private and secure?

The information you share is protected by data privacy laws; for more information, please see our Privacy Policy and terms of service. You can also learn more about how therapists handle your information here.

What's the difference between online counselling and online therapy?

Online counselling and online therapy are often used interchangeably. Both involve speaking with a qualified mental health professional remotely via video, phone, or messaging. In some contexts, "counselling" may refer to shorter-term support focused on specific challenges, while "therapy" can describe longer-term work exploring patterns, behaviours, or underlying concerns. The right approach depends on your needs and goals.

What types of issues can online therapy help with?

People use BetterHelp to work on concerns like the following:

Anxiety

Depression

Stress

Relationship challenges

Burnout

Grief

Sleep problems

Trauma effects

Low self-esteem

Loneliness

Anger management

Life transitions

Learn more about the factors that may affect the cost of psychotherapy here.

What does a BetterHelp subscription include?

A BetterHelp subscription includes one live session per week (via video, audio, or chat), messaging with your therapist between sessions, goal-tracking and journaling tools, support groups, and the ability to switch therapists at no extra cost.

How quickly can I get matched with an online therapist?

You can be matched with a therapist in as little as 48 hours after completing the intake questionnaire, although timing may vary based on therapist availability and your preferences. We start to find a therapist for you as soon as you finish the intake questionnaire. The matching process can be as quick as 48 hours, but it may take longer, depending on therapist availability and your preferences.

Can I switch therapists easily if it's not the right fit?

Yes, this is one of the advantages of an online therapy service like BetterHelp. If your current therapist isn't the right fit, you can switch to another at any time at no extra cost. Finding the right match is an important part of effective therapy, so you're free to switch therapists until you find someone you feel comfortable with.

Is BetterHelp appropriate for crisis situations?

No, BetterHelp is not suitable for crisis situations or active psychosis. Individuals in crisis can contact the Samaritans helpline anytime, 24/7, for support at 116 123. The Mind support line is also available at 0300 102 1234 and is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM (excluding bank holidays).

Can I choose between video, phone, or chat for my sessions?

Yes, you can choose between different modes of communication for each weekly live session, including video, audio, or chat, and can adjust your preference at any time.

If you are not comfortable seeing a student you can request a qualified counsellor but this may impact your waiting time.

Award-winning therapy and BACP Accredited Counselling Service with over 35 years of experience.

Professional Counselling in Cardiff, Swansea or online

We're here to support you in whatever way suits you best - online, over the phone, or face-to-face sessions. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or just not feeling like yourself, we provide a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and emotions.

You might be processing a painful past experience, struggling with low mood or self esteem, finding it challenging to quiet anxious thoughts, navigating a bereavement or looking to move forward in life. Whatever you're going through talking can help gain clarity and better understand your thoughts, concerns and past experiences.

If you are unwaged then get in touch about our low-cost service with student counsellors.

We can Match you with a therapist best suited to your needs

We are a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Accredited Counselling Service and have a large team of friendly  counsellors who work with people facing a wide range of different challenges. Our therapists use various approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy ( CBT,) humanistic therapies, creative therapy and relationship counselling always personalising support to your unique needs. As an autism-friendly organisation, our team has received specialised training from Autistic minds to ensure inclusive, accessible support.

Not sure what type of therapy is right for you? That's OK-we'll work together to find the best approach and therapist for you.

Book first appointment

1. Book assessment

Book your first session where you will also need to complete a super quick form as part of the booking process.

2. Assessment

One of our expert Counsellors will ask some questions and guide you through the process of finding the right therapy for you, and the best therapist to talk to.

3. Start Counselling

Start therapy sessions at a day and time that suits you. Online, over the phone or face to face in Cardiff or Swansea.

How can counselling be helpful?

Sometimes we can struggle with our mental health, it's part of being human. Taking the time to explore your thoughts and feelings can help to gain clarity about what you are going through. Talking about how you are feeling, and why you're feeling it, can lead to a better understanding of the things that add to and shape you, and help support your mental health and wellbeing.

Starting counselling is easy

If you don't know what type of therapy could help you, that's OK. The first step is to book your first session, where we'll talk to you to find out what kind of counselling will work best. We know how important it is to have the right therapist who understands you. Assessments are done by our experienced counsellors, who have a lot of knowledge and know our team well. They'll guide you through the entire process and pair you with a counsellor best suited to your needs. Usually, you can start counselling within days after your assessment.

We have worked with over 4000 people

"My counsellor was excellent at supporting me through difficult moments and listened carefully to my thoughts and feelings"

"I have appreciated a listening ear. It has been helpful to me when everything seems so confused and helpless. Small steps can eventually make a big difference"

"My wonderful counsellor actively listened to all my issues without judgement and offered genuine support which helped me no end"

"My counsellor provided a safe space for me to explore and reflect - I always felt validated"

Do you have psychotherapists on your team?

While we don't currently have registered psychotherapists on our team, our qualified counsellors and therapists offer a wide range of talking therapies, including person-centred, integrative, and trauma-informed approaches. Many people use the terms counsellor and psychotherapist interchangeably, and our team provides the same level of professional, compassionate support to help you with whatever you're facing.

Ready to start counselling?

Take the first step with us. Choose a day and time that suits you - online, over the phone or face to face. Our Cardiff centre is nestled in the beautiful suburb of Roath, offering fantastic transport connections. As for our Swansea space, it's conveniently situated right off the M4 in a quiet, private area and just a 10 minute drive from the city centre. If you are unwaged then get in touch about our low-cost service with student counsellors via email hello@platfformwellbeing.com or call us on 02920 440191

Heather Grant | Yoga Teacher & Forest Therapy Practitioner on Instagram: "What is Forest Therapy? Q&A🌿 

✨ Is it actual therapy? 

Forest therapy is a therapeutic practice, recognised as a complementary approach to supporting mental health, but it’s not psychotherapy.

So when I say I’m an accredited Forest Therapy Practitioner, I’m not a trained therapist. 

In forest therapy, the forest is the therapist, and the practitioner is there to guide you through gentle, evidence-based practices that help you slow down, reconnect, and absorb the benefits of nature. 

My qualification is recognised by the Complementary Medical Association (CMA). 

✨ What happens in a session? 

You’ll be guided on a short walk with nature connection insights, a sensory meditation, and a series of exploratory invitations. To close, they’ll be a chance to share herbal tea, journal, and reflect on what came up for us. 

No pressure, no performance, and no need to “do it right.”

✨ Why should I try it? 

Forest therapy can support stress reduction, emotional regulation,  cardiovascular health, immune system, attention restoration, and a deeper connection to yourself and the natural world… and so much more! 

✨ what services do you offer? 

At the moment, I offer:
🌲1:1 sessions
🌲 Small group experiences
🌲 Corporate & private bookings 
🌲 Monthly group sessions in Hebden Bridge (launching May)

📍 Available in Hebden Bridge & Manchester"
