Why Choose Online Therapy with MySafeTherapy?
BACP-Accredited Therapists
Every therapist on our platform meets recognised professional standards in the UK, so you can feel confident that you are speaking with a qualified and ethical practitioner.
Access Therapy from Anywhere in the UK
Attend sessions securely from home, during a break at work, or wherever you feel safest and most comfortable. Online therapy makes support more accessible, especially when life feels busy or overwhelming.
Video, Phone, Messaging and Avatar-Based Therapy Options
Not everyone wants the same format. Choose the type of support that works best for you, whether that is face-to-face video, voice-only sessions, written messaging, or avatar-based therapy for greater anonymity and ease.
Support Matched to Your Needs
Our wellbeing quiz and therapist profiles help you find support that aligns with what you are going through, whether that is anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, emotional exhaustion, or low mood.
Private, Flexible and Confidential
Online therapy can make it easier to ask for help. It offers privacy, convenience, and more flexibility around work, parenting, commuting, and daily responsibilities.
Avatar Therapy for Extra Privacy
For some people, opening up on camera can feel intimidating. Our avatar-based therapy sessions offer an additional layer of anonymity, helping people feel safer, less exposed, and more able to begin therapy. This can be especially helpful for those experiencing shame, social anxiety, trauma-related discomfort, or hesitation about being seen.

A More Private Way to Access Therapy
We understand that for many people, the hardest part of therapy is simply starting. Fear of judgement, discomfort with being on camera, or not wanting to be fully visible can stop people from reaching out.
That is why MySafeTherapy also offers avatar-based therapy sessions, giving you the option to speak with a qualified therapist while maintaining a greater sense of anonymity. For many people, this makes therapy feel safer, more manageable, and easier to begin.
Avatar-based therapy may be especially helpful if you:
- feel self-conscious on camera
- struggle with shame or fear of judgement
- want more privacy while opening up
- experience social anxiety
- find face-to-face interaction overwhelming at first
- want to ease into therapy in a way that feels more comfortable
For some people, anonymity is not just a preference. It is what makes support feel possible.
Why More People Are Choosing Online Therapy
For many people, online therapy feels easier to start and easier to maintain. It removes the pressure of travelling to appointments and makes it more realistic to fit therapy into everyday life. It can be especially helpful if you:
- have a busy or unpredictable schedule
- work long hours
- feel more comfortable opening up from your own environment
- want more privacy
- live in an area with limited local therapy options
- need flexible support without long waiting times
- want the option of avatar-based sessions for extra anonymity
Online therapy is not a second-best option. For many people, it is the most practical and sustainable way to access professional support.
