Once matched with a therapist you will have 24/7 access to your own private and secure space on the site where you can communicate with your therapist via written messages. You can send them messages any time you would like.
Unlike more traditional face to face therapy there are no:
- waiting times to start therapy
- limit to the frequency and number of messages you want to send
- waiting for once a week visits and booking time off work
- co-pays
- commute time to and from their office and having to wait in a busy waiting room
Research has shown that online therapy can be just as effective as face to face
In the beginning, your therapist will take time to get to know you and understand your concerns. They will be asking questions about why you are seeking therapy and may also set goals with you. They are there to listen, provide feedback and suggest strategies to help you with your issues. Therapy at 7 Cups is your safe space to talk about what is on your mind.
