Online CBT with IESO

Online Typed CBT with ieso

ieso delivers one-to-one Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in real-time over the internet using written (typed) conversations. Patients meet with an accredited psychotherapist in a secure online therapy room, at a scheduled time. The therapy is the same as face-to-face CBT, just delivered online through instant messaging.

Access to online typed CBT is very quick; you can typically have your first appointment within two weeks of opting in to the service.

Key benefits of typed online therapy include:

  • Appointments are 60 minutes long and can be attended from anywhere patients can connect to the internet, whether on the move, or from the comfort of their own home
  • All that is required is an internet enabled device (i.e. PC. laptop, tablet or smartphone)
  • Appointments can be scheduled between 6am – 11pm, 7 days a week, including weekends to fit around work and other life commitments
  • As the therapy is online and in written format, ieso patients can review their session content and transcripts at any time during and after treatment to consolidate learning
  • Some people prefer the anonymity and discreetness of online typed therapy as it eliminates the risk of conversations being overheard
