What My Online Therapy does

My Online Therapy (MyOnlineTherapy) is a London-based, for-profit private company founded in 2017 that operates what it describes as the first virtual psychology clinic — a mobile-first mental health platform connecting consumers to psychological services. The company is positioned in the consumer digital health / telepsychology segment and targets individuals seeking remote access to mental health professionals. With a headcount in the 11-50 range, it is an early-stage operator by venture-scale benchmarks.

The company's product surface, technical architecture, and underlying technology stack are not disclosed in the available source data; the corporate website returned only a verification/loading screen during the data collection process, and no product catalog, integrations, AI modalities, certifications, or compliance posture were captured. As a result, the operational mechanics of how users are matched to clinicians, the modalities offered (video, chat, asynchronous), and the platform architecture cannot be characterized beyond the high-level "virtual psychology clinic" positioning. No app store links, patents, trademarks, or regulatory clearances were surfaced.

The business model is also not explicitly disclosed: no pricing tiers, revenue mechanics (subscription vs. per-session vs. employer-sponsored), customer segmentation (B2C direct, B2B2C via employers/insurers, or payor-funded), or contract structures are present in the input. The company has raised approximately $5.92 million in aggregate disclosed funding across two rounds — a ~$405K round dated 2018 and a ~$5.5M round in December 2019 led by Lighthouse Investment Group — and is led by three co-founders: Dr. Tom Pennybacker (Chief Medical Officer), Vasileios Touronis (Chief Operating Officer), and Elettra Bianchi Dennerlein (Co-CEO). The clinical co-founder composition is consistent with a clinician-led service model rather than a pure technology play.
