In recent years, more and more people in the UK have turned to online therapy as a way to manage stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges. But one question often lingers in people’s minds before they commit: is therapy online in the UK just as effective as traditional, face-to-face sessions?
The short answer? Yes and in many cases, it may actually be better suited to your lifestyle and needs.
The idea that therapy must happen in a clinic or on a couch is outdated. Countless studies show that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy especially when the service is well-structured, delivered by qualified professionals, and tailored to the client.
Many people in the UK now prefer online sessions because they’re:
• More convenient: No commute, no waiting rooms, just a quiet moment on the phone when it suits you.
• Private: Speak to a therapist from your own home, without needing to explain your plans to anyone else.
• Flexible: Evening or daytime appointments are often easier to find online than in-person.
Online therapy is a good fit if:
• You’re managing work, childcare or other responsibilities
• You live in a rural area or can’t easily travel
• You’re more comfortable opening up by phone than face-to-face
• You want to speak to a qualified UK therapist without long NHS wait times
At Hush Tell Us, therapy calls are delivered over the phone by experienced, UK-based professionals. For many of our clients, this format helps them relax and speak more freely especially those who find eye contact or clinical settings overwhelming.
Every Hush Therapist is fully qualified and trained to provide phone-based therapy in a way that’s supportive, calm and confidential. Sessions are booked in advance and delivered via private phone call no video, no screens, and no pressure.
We offer both one-off sessions and monthly subscriptions with regular support from the same therapist each time. It’s straightforward, affordable, and designed to work around your life.
