A-Therapy is a private psychotherapy and counselling service website founded by Rafael Dupré, a seasoned UK-based psychotherapist. Originally from Belgium, Rafael has lived in the UK since 2011 and has over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, currently practising at private clinics in London and France. Beyond himself, the site also showcases a team of MBACP-registered counsellors including Xandra Kike Spence and Ellen Waldren.
The site centers on integrative psychotherapy, blending cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic, psychodynamic and other approaches, tailored to each client's specific situation. The service process is clear: a free initial assessment comes first, followed by a fixed-term or open-ended counselling plan, typically once a week. In addition to standard individual sessions, it offers specialized services such as couples therapy, therapy for teenagers and young adults, post-cancer-diagnosis therapy, and end-of-life care therapy. Session formats are flexible, supporting phone, FaceTime, WhatsApp, and Skype video, as well as in-person meetings, with online booking available. The site also features a regularly updated mental-health education column (covering topics like grief, depression, sleep, self-talk, etc.) with fairly high-quality content.
Pricing is transparent: individual counselling is £80/session and couples counselling is £120/session, with the first assessment session being free and no-obligation. Priced in GBP, it sits at a moderate-to-standard level within the UK market.
The strengths lie in the counsellors' deep credentials and strong reputation; the site includes recommendations from multiple peers and detailed client testimonials (covering police officers, musicians, business owners, etc.), lending it high credibility. The services are specialized and segmented, with relatively rare coverage of special scenarios like cancer and end-of-life care; the free first session and remote flexibility lower the barrier to trying it out. The downside is that it is essentially a single private practice rather than a platform, with limited scale and few counsellor options; everything is in English and billed in GBP, which is unfriendly to non-English-speaking users; and the site's functionality is limited to information display and booking, making it technically simple.
It's suited for adults, teenagers, and couples who are based in the UK or fluent in English and seeking in-depth one-on-one counselling, especially those experiencing anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, or major illness.
The site is an ordinary information-display site and is technically directly accessible. However, the service is conducted in English and settled in GBP, and the counsellors practise in the UK/France, so for users in mainland China there are language, time-zone, and payment barriers, making its practical value limited.
