PsychologyOnline delivers real-time cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) via live therapists over the internet to NHS and private patients, allowing sessions from home at convenient times. All therapists are Chartered Psychologists or accredited Psychotherapists trained in the UK. The service was launched in 2010 by CEO Barnaby Perks and is available to NHS customers in some UK areas. A 300‑patient clinical trial at three universities and NHS Trusts, including UCL, published in The Lancet in 2009, showed an average of six online sessions led to recovery from moderate to severe depression versus 16–20 sessions for NHS face‑to‑face services. The company is using new funds to expand its reach. To date PsychologyOnline has raised a total of £1.6m.
