Frequently asked questions about online psychologists and psychotherapists

An online psychologist is a qualified psychologist whom you speak to via video, telephone or chat, rather than travelling to a practice. You receive psychological counselling on whatever is on your mind, and can sit wherever you feel comfortable. Online psychologists can support you with personal difficulties, such as stress and feeling overwhelmed, depressive moods, anxiety, self-doubt, relationship problems or work-related issues.

An online psychologist is a good choice if you:

  • no longer want to cope alone with stress, feeling overwhelmed, self-doubt or anxiety

  • are looking for advice on relationship issues, break-ups, grief or life changes

  • want to get started quickly, rather than waiting weeks for a face-to-face appointment

  • need appointments that fit into your daily routine, including in the evenings or at weekends

  • are waiting for a place on a therapy programme and want to make good use of the time in the meantime

Instahelp is not suitable for acute crises or emergencies. In such cases, please contact your doctor or a crisis helpline immediately.

When making your choice, check that their area of specialism, availability and the impression they make on you are all right. So don’t just look at the person’s specialism and experience, but also consider whether their profile makes a good first impression, whether you find them likeable, and whether you can imagine talking openly with them about your concerns. The introductory videos and profiles will help you with this.

On Instahelp, you have two ways of finding the right psychologist: you can choose psychologists yourself or let the matching service suggest suitable profiles.

Yes, you can switch to another psychologist at any time. You often only realise whether you get on well with them once you’ve had a chat, and that’s perfectly normal. You can choose a new profile yourself or use the matching to get some new suggestions.

The initial consultation with Instahelp (30 minutes) costs (price: first). Each subsequent session costs (price: medium) for 50 minutes or (price: small) for 30 minutes.

At Instahelp , you always pay the same price per session, regardless of which psychologist you choose. There’s no subscription and no minimum commitment: you decide for yourself how many sessions you’d like, and you can stop at any time.

The main aim of the no-obligation initial consultation is to get to know your psychologist and see if you get on well together. You can simply talk about what’s on your mind at the moment and where you’d like some support. Together, you can assess your situation and discuss possible next steps. Your psychologist will also give you an insight into the methods they use and how the counselling sessions will be structured.

Afterwards, you decide for yourself whether and how you’d like to continue with the counselling – with no subscription or minimum commitment.

Read more about how the initial consultation might go and what questions are frequently asked.
