Clinically Led. Personally Matched.

Why we created My Therapist Online

Lisa Johnston · BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist & EMDR Therapist

Lisa Johnston is a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR Therapist with over 20 years' experience working in mental health, including many years at the Maudsley Hospital's specialist National Anxiety Disorders service.

During her clinical career, Lisa saw how difficult it could be for people to know which therapist, or even which type of therapy, was right for them.

In 2016, Lisa and her husband Keith created My Therapist Online to make that process easier.

Rather than asking people to search through endless directories, MTO combines clinical understanding with a personal matching service, helping people find therapists with the right experience for their individual needs.

“Finding the right therapist shouldn't be another difficult thing to navigate when you're already struggling.”
