How to choose private online counselling

Private online counselling is a licensed counsellor you meet by video or chat. The goal is a private space to think clearly, not a crisis line.

If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. For a free crisis line in your country, use findahelpline.com.

A useful first filter:

  1. Check the counsellor is licensed in a place that matches your needs.
  2. Ask how they keep notes, video, and payment private.
  3. Confirm session length, fee, and what happens if you need to reschedule.
  4. Read how the first session works so you know what to expect.
