Our specialists dedicate themselves to building a rewarding relationship with you, which is commonly known to be a key factor in achieving change and success in therapy. This is because many people feel more comfortable communicating with their therapist from their own home, finding it easier to open up and address the root causes of their mental health conditions. We fully vet all of our therapists during interviews at the recruitment stage. We also ensure that our online therapists always have a quiet and confidential space to conduct sessions.

What are the benefits of online therapy with Priory?

We have a thorough hiring process for all of our specialists. A clinical specialist will always be involved with selection at the interview stage, personally interacting with all of the therapists before they commence employment with Priory. Our specialists all deliver traditional face-to-face treatment as well as online therapy and counselling. They all have a wealth of experience in treating a range of mental health conditions, ranging in severity. These include depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), addictions and eating disorders, plus much more. Many of our therapists also have extensive experience working within the NHS.

We have robust procedures in place to adhere to all NICE-recommended guidelines for best practice, following only evidence-based methods. All of our online therapy specialists are part of the wider Priory family, so we don’t outsource any support or compromise on the level of service you will receive through online therapy. You can expect the exact same high standards with Priory’s online therapy service that would be delivered across all of our services and physical locations.
