Private. Yours.
Anonymous Online Therapy & Counselling in the UK
Anonymous therapy lets you speak to a qualified UK therapist without showing your face or using your real name. It is the same regulated, confidential care you would receive in any other session — only with an extra layer of privacy.

What MySafeTherapy offers
Avatar-based video sessions
Use a calming animated avatar instead of your camera. Your therapist sees the avatar and hears your voice — nothing else.
Audio-only sessions
Voice-only therapy by secure call. No video, no screen pressure.
Chat / text therapy
Type your sessions in a secure encrypted thread with a real, qualified therapist.
Pseudonymous accounts
Sign up using a chosen display name. Your therapist only sees what is clinically necessary.
UK-registered therapists
Every therapist is BACP, UKCP or HCPC registered. See our therapist standards.
Encrypted by design
End-to-end encrypted sessions, UK GDPR compliant, never used to train AI.

Safety & limitations
Anonymous therapy is for non-urgent psychological support. We may need to know how to reach you in a safeguarding emergency — this is explained transparently at sign-up. We are not a crisis service.
If you are in immediate danger, call 999. For urgent emotional support call Samaritans on 116 123 or text SHOUT to 85258. See our safety guidance and UK crisis resources.
