Lavendla makes it easy to book an online session with an experienced psychologist or therapist. Access professional treatment from home or anywhere convenient for you with an internet connection.

We help make the difficult easier

Most of us are used to performing various tasks online, from grocery shopping to banking. But can online psychological treatment sessions really be as effective as face-to-face ones?

Before you decide to take an important step towards better psychological health, you can book one of our therapists or psychologists for an initial 20-minute session to see how you feel.

Availability and flexibility

One of the most obvious benefits of hiring a psychologist online is accessibility. After a few clicks, you can be in a private conversation with a qualified psychologist. This is particularly helpful for those living in remote areas, where access to psychological services may be limited.

  • No travel: You save time and money by not having to travel.
  • More choice: Online services open the door to a larger pool of experts than what might be available locally.

What set our therapist apart was her genuine empathy and personal insight. Not only did she possess a deep understanding of neurodiversity, but she also shared personal experiences that resonated with us, creating an instant connection and fostering a sense of trust!

Anonymity and security

Many people feel a stigma about seeking psychological help. Therefore, online conversations, which allow more anonymity, can make it easier to open up and talk about sensitive topics. All from the safety of your own home.

Continuity and consistency

But it is not only practical aspects that make online psychology a good choice. It provides an opportunity for continuity of care. You can talk to the same expert no matter where you are, creating a smoother and more consistent care experience.

Next steps

Before deciding on a form of treatment, it is important to make a thorough assessment of your needs. In an acute mental health crisis, it is best to call 111 or visit 111.nhs.uk immediately. But for those with mild to moderate problems, online psychology offers an effective, economical and accessible solution. Why not take the first step to a healthier mind today?
