Directory coming soon

We're building our therapy team

We're welcoming registered therapists to the WebcamTherapy directory now. Before anyone is listed, we check their BACP, NCPS or UKCP registration by hand against the public register, so it takes a little time.

Once our team is in place you'll be able to browse the therapist directory here, see their real availability and book a private video session. We'll open bookings soon.

Join as a therapist

If you need support before then, your GP can help, and in England you can refer yourself to NHS Talking Therapies.

Cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) is a time-limited therapy, often 16 to 24 sessions, that combines ideas from cognitive and psychodynamic therapy. Together with your therapist you map the patterns that keep you stuck and practise ways out of them.

Much of CAT is shared writing and diagrams, which can be worked on together on screen.

Who online therapy can help

Online therapy is especially useful if getting to an appointment is hard: if you live rurally, have a health condition or mobility needs, find it difficult to leave home because of anxiety, or work shifts or care for someone. All you need is a private space and a phone, tablet or computer with a camera.

How sessions work

Choose a therapist, pick a time that suits you, and pay securely in advance. At your session time, join from your account in your web browser — there is nothing to install. Sessions are one-to-one, private and never recorded.

Every therapist is registered

Every therapist on WebcamTherapy is registered with the BACP, NCPS or UKCP. We check each registration by hand against the public register before a profile goes live, and re-check regularly.
