Signs You Might Benefit from Online Therapy
You don’t need to be falling apart to need support, you just need to be feeling something you’re tired of carrying alone.
If you've ever been listening to a friend talk about the changes they’re making and therapy, and felt a slight twinge of FOMO thinking “Do I need therapy?”. And the fact that you’re even asking probably says something important.
Let’s get one thing straight:
Therapy isn’t just for “crisis mode.”
It’s also for the quiet, constant, hard-to-explain stuff:
The emotional weight.
The overthinking spiral.
The feeling that you’re fine... but not really fine.
If any of this sounds familiar, you might already be halfway to realising:
You don’t have to keep pushing through alone.
What Are the Signs You Might Benefit from Online Therapy?
Therapy isn't about being "broken." It's about being honest with yourself about how you're feeling, coping, and connecting.
Here are some common signs it might be time to start:
1. You feel emotionally overwhelmed more often than not
Life feels heavier than usual. Small things feel big. You cry more, shut down faster, or feel like you’re constantly on edge, and you don’t know why.
2. You overthink conversations long after they end
You replay texts. You analyse tone. You wonder if you’ve upset someone, even when there’s no clear reason. Your brain just won’t switch off.
3. You feel disconnected from yourself or others
You’re present, but not really there. You say “I’m fine” when you’re not. You’ve lost a sense of who you are or what you need.
4. You constantly second-guess your emotions
“Am I overreacting?”
“Should I just get over this?”
If you find yourself dismissing your own feelings, therapy can help you listen to them instead.
5. You’re tired of handling everything alone
You’re the one everyone leans on. The one who’s “doing fine.” But inside, you’re carrying way more than you let on. You don’t have to hold it all yourself.
Why Online Therapy?
Online therapy makes it easier to access support from your own space, especially if:
You feel more comfortable opening up from home
You have a busy schedule and need flexibility
You live in a location with limited access to in-person services
You prefer the privacy and control of logging in from wherever you are
What Therapy Offers
As an online therapist working across the UK and Europe, I use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) - a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps you:
Understand the emotional root of what you’re feeling
Make sense of your inner world, without judgement
Find clarity and self-connection - not just “coping skills”
EFT isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel safe enough to process everything you’ve been struggling to so far.
Therapy Isn’t Just for When Things Fall Apart
If you've been wondering whether therapy might help, trust that instinct. You don’t need a big reason to reach out. You just need enough self-understanding to know you’re allowed to want support.
I offer online therapy for anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and self-worth. I work with clients across the UK and Europe, and I’d be honoured to walk with you through whatever you’re carrying.
