Is this therapy needs assessment confidential?

Yes. Your answers are sent directly to our matching team by encrypted email and are never stored on this website. We use them only to hand-match you with a therapist. You can request deletion at any time by emailing peter@seekapsych.com.

How long does the assessment take?

About 3 minutes. There are 4 steps covering what brings you to therapy, what kind of support you’re looking for, practical preferences, and therapist preferences. You can skip any optional questions.

What happens after I submit?

A member of our team personally reviews your profile and searches our network of vetted, accredited therapists. Within 48 hours, we’ll email you with 1–3 hand-picked matches. There is no obligation to book, and the matching service is completely free.

Is there a cost for the matching service?

No. The assessment and matching service are free. Therapists pay a small commission if you decide to book sessions with them, but you never pay anything to Seek A Psych.

What if I don’t know what kind of therapy I need?

That’s completely fine. Many people don’t know which type of therapy is right for them. The assessment includes a ‘Not sure — please guide me’ option, and We will use our experience to suggest the most suitable approach based on your answers.

Can I use this instead of the enquiry form?

Yes. This assessment replaces the need for a separate enquiry form. It provides more detail, which helps us make a better match. If you prefer a shorter form, you can use the enquiry form on our Connect with a Psychotherapist page.
