Hey Y'all

But how does it work?

If you’re searching for a cheap online therapist in the USA, you’re not alone. Many Americans are paying $150–$300 per session, even with insurance — or struggling to find any availability at all.

I offer professional, effective online psychotherapy to American clients at £55 per session (around $75) — without insurance, long waiting lists, or reduced quality of care.

I am a UK-based psychotherapist, fully qualified and insured to work with US clients online, offering warm, relational therapy that is both ethical and affordable.

​

My current US clients choose to work with me because they want:

A low-cost alternative to US therapy

A real human relationship, not an app or subscription model

Confidential online sessions

Therapy that is legitimate, professional, and effective

​

Why Are You Charging So Much Less Than US Therapists?

​

“Is this real therapy?”

“What’s the catch?”

“Why is it so much cheaper?”

The short answer: the UK therapy system is structured differently — not lower quality.

In the UK:

Therapists are not burdened by US-style insurance billing systems

We don’t need to charge inflated fees to cover insurance negotiations

Private therapy is common and normal

Online therapy is well-established and regulated

This allows me to offer ethical, professional psychotherapy at a fair price, rather than passing systemic costs on to clients.

You are not getting “budget therapy.” You are getting accessible therapy.

​

I am a fully qualified UK psychotherapist, working within recognised professional and ethical frameworks. I hold professional indemnity insurance that explicitly covers work with American clients.

Online therapy across borders is legal, common, and well-established when:

The therapist is appropriately trained

The client is self-pay (not insurance-billing)

Ethical standards and informed consent are followed

All of these conditions are met in my practice.

​

Lower cost does not mean lower standards.

The work itself — efficacy, relational depth, clinical skill, ethical care — remains the same.

​

Further Information/ FAQ: 

I do not diagnose, bill insurance, or practise under US state licensure — which is standard and appropriate for international private psychotherapy.

Is online therapy with a UK therapist confidential for US clients?

Yes. Confidentiality is taken extremely seriously. Sessions are conducted using secure online platforms, and your information is handled in line with UK data protection laws (GDPR), which are among the strictest privacy standards in the world.

Your therapy remains confidential, with the same ethical limits that apply in any professional setting (such as serious risk of harm).

Is this “real” therapy or a coaching service?

This is professional psychotherapy, not coaching or self-help. I am a qualified psychotherapist, offering structured, relational therapeutic work similar in depth and quality to what you would receive in a private US practice — without the inflated cost.

Will my sessions work across time zones?

Yes. I regularly work with American clients and offer online therapy across multiple US time zones, including Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Sessions are scheduled clearly in advance to ensure consistency.

How do I know if this is right for me?

If you are:

Paying hundreds of dollars per session in the US

Struggling to find available therapists

Wanting affordable, weekly therapy without insurance involvement

Then working with a UK-based online psychotherapist can be an excellent fit.

I look forward to working with you
