What I’m doing here is reviewing my experience of using each psychological health service, instead of its effectiveness – because even the most wizard-like therapist isn’t going to ‘cure’ you in simply one week. I’m just comparing each service to the experience of being in a room and blarting on about yourself to a therapist. If you’re with me, nod. Okay, cool – let’s psychological health!

How does it work?
As seen on FB (by me, anyhow), United States business is the business behemoth of the e-counselling video game. They declare to have 500 certified counsellors working for them, each with a minimum of 3 years of experience.
After filling in a survey to establish what specific flavour of psychological you are, you’re paired with a counsellor, who you can mercilessly swap for a various one at any time. (I got Dr. Laura Dabney, from Virginia). You then kick off an instant messaged treatment session that both you and your counsellor can drop in and out of, and which could, in theory, go on and on till among you eventually passed away.
What does it cost?
You get a totally free seven-day trial – just like a totally free Netflix or Amazon Prime trial, other than with method more concerns about what your childhood was like. After that, it costs from , 24.50 a week for unlimited message-based counselling and one ‘free’ phone session with your counsellor each month. Yeah, I don’t get how it’s totally free either, but whatever.
