Flexible online counselling
My Mirror’s online counselling services provide a convenient and flexible way to access mental health support from the comfort of your own home. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or another mental health concern, our online counselling services can help you work through things and improve your overall well-being.
Online psychologist vs mental health counsellor

While psychologists and mental health counsellors can both provide online counselling services, they each have different qualifications, skillsets and approaches. A mental health counsellor typically has a diploma or degree in counselling, whereas our psychologists at My Mirror hold a postgraduate degree and have completed extensive training to develop a deep understanding of the human mind and behaviour.
Our online psychologists deliver a range of evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy, to aid help seekers in recognising and altering their thoughts or actions. A mental health counsellor, however, may focus more on general, personal growth exercises that support clients to explore and find their own solutions.

Do I need online counselling or online therapy?
Counselling and therapy are often two words used interchangeably to describe getting professional mental health support. At My Mirror, we use both words for the same type of care - working with a registered psychologist via secure video sessions, using evidence‑based therapies tailored to your needs.

How Does Online Counselling Work?
My Mirror offers a user-friendly platform that streamlines the process of finding the right psychologist for your needs, without compromising on the quality of the online counselling services provided.
Once you have found your preferred psychologist and booked an appointment, your session will take place within the platform, where all session notes are secured with end-to-end encryption that ensures 100% confidentiality.
During the session, you will be able to see and hear your therapist in real-time, just like in an in-person session. You will also have the ability to share documents, images, and other materials with your therapist as needed. What’s more, you will be able to access session summaries and resources between appointments to put your teachings into practice.
Is online counselling as effective as in-person counselling?
Online counselling services can be just as effective as in-person counselling for a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, and stress. The structure, techniques and teachings offered will not differ from face-to-face appointments, merely the setting and communication channels, which can actually prove more beneficial to those looking for added anonymity, or with an inability to attend a physical session.
The key to a successful online counselling experience is finding a qualified and experienced psychologist trained to use evidence-based therapy modalities, as well as a convenient, digital medium upon which you can communicate, such as the My Mirror platform.
How do I know if online counselling is the right choice for me?
Online counselling can be an excellent option for anyone looking for the convenience and flexibility of accessing a registered psychologist from the comfort of their own home. It can also be an especially beneficial option for those who have difficulty accessing traditional in-person therapy due to location, mobility, or other lifestyle constraints.
Do I need special equipment or software to participate in online counselling?
All you need to participate in online counselling is a computer or smartphone with a camera, microphone, and stable internet connection. Everything else is available through the My Mirror platform.
