How to find an affordable online therapy

Affordable online therapy offers a convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional face-to-face therapy. Online sessions offer all the benefits of conventional therapy, but at a fraction of the price and without any scheduling conflicts. The best part? You can avail of our video chat service from anywhere with an internet connection, making it even more convenient for you. It offers the same level of privacy and confidentiality, if not more.

There is no need to worry about scheduling conflicts either. You can see your therapist when it suits you best. You are also free to discuss any topic with your therapist, be it related to your mental health or any other issues that you may want to discuss with an experienced professional. These virtual sessions will help to educate you on the problems that you may be facing in life and how you can overcome them, improving your quality of life in the process.

How to find an affordable online therapy

1.Decide which type of therapy you need.

There are many options to choose from, namely; individual therapy, couples counselling, family counselling (for a family of four), and specific types of therapy such as CBT, DBT and PILOT. It’s safe to say that a therapist can help with almost anything you’re going through at the moment.

  1. Select a therapist that suits your budget and your requirements.

The best way to find an affordable online therapy is to look through the profiles of therapists on our website and make lists out of their skills, experience and the certification level they hold. Keep in mind that therapists do not qualify for discounts unless they are with us from inception.

  1. Explore more and read their profiles.

It is at this point where you can find out about their qualifications, experience and any specializations they may have. It is safe to say that a therapist from our network is worth every cent if they are qualified and certified. You can also go through reviews written by other clients to see what kind of therapy experience they might have with the therapist. These reviews are left by people who had real therapy sessions with these therapists–something that you should look out for before taking the decision to book an online session with them.

  1. Submit your profile details to the therapist.

You can either email or message the therapist directly on Skype. You can also conveniently make an appointment with them from our website, but it is always better to communicate with a therapist in real time. The therapist will then check if you are eligible for one of their packages before scheduling your session with them. If you are not yet active on our website and have not yet submitted your details to us, please do so as soon as possible so that a therapist checks if you qualify for one of their packages and can then schedule a session with you.

  1. Schedule your video chat session.

The therapist will ask you to set up your profile details a few days before the scheduled session and they will verify with Skype that you are all set. The therapist will then ask you to submit payment after confirming your session with them. If you have already submitted payment, they will be in touch with you immediately and notify you of the status of your payment. After this, they will get in touch with their online counsellor and allow them to confirm that the payments has been made on time and schedule a time for an online session for the same day if allowed by their schedules.
