At Merton Talking Therapies, we are pleased to work with several digital partners to support us in providing you with a choice about the way in which you have your therapy.
ieso Digital Health, SilverCloud and Xyla Digital Health all provide evidence based treatments (to find out what we mean by evidence based treatments please click here) to support you with your difficulties.

Mindler (previously ieso) have been treating NHS patients for over a decade, with 145,000+ adults aged 17 and over engaging with online therapy. Mindler’s fully qualified therapists have been helping people with their mental health through confidential, one-to-one conversations.
How does it work?
Online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the same as face-to-face therapy, only instead of talking to your clinician in the same room you will have one-to-one, confidential sessions that take place through Mindler’s secure therapy site, chatting in real-time with a qualified clinician that has been assigned to suit your needs. CBT is delivered via one-to-one 45-60-minute typed or video conversations. Online therapy allows you to access appointments from anywhere you feel most comfortable. All you need to do is find a private space and somewhere you can connect to the internet. You will need to ensure you can access the camera and speaker on your mobile phone, laptop or tablet.
The benefits of online therapy
The online approach is making talking therapy more accessible. You won’t need to miss work or travel anywhere, choosing a convenient time to type or video call with your clinician, wherever and whenever you feel most comfortable.
The additional benefits of video therapy include:
● Flexible - Appointments available 7 days a week, 6am - 11pm
● Time-saving - No need to travel to your appointment
● Choice - Choose which online modality you prefer. Type, much like a text conversation, or speak to your clinician via a video call.
● Confidential - Therapy sessions take place via Mindler’s secure therapy site.
● Accessible - All you need is a comfortable private space and mobile device/ good internet connection (4G or Wi-Fi).
● Access to previous sessions - Listen back to audio recordings, or access transcripts from your previous sessions so you can revisit your therapy for reinforced learning
● Support between sessions - Message with your clinician in-between sessions for support with your tasks.
● Guidance beyond therapy - learn practical CBT skills to use day-to-day to help manage your feelings.
Xyla Digital Therapies has been commissioned by our Trust to deliver digitally enabled talking therapies to Merton residents. Xyla Digital Therapies offer appointments seven days a week from 8am-10pm. You can receive your sessions in your preferred language via online messaging, audio or secure video – it’s your choice.
How do I access Xyla Digital Therapies?
We will ask when you make a referral whether you’re interested in receiving your assessment or therapy digitally. If yes, we will refer you to Xyla Digital Therapies whose team will contact you and get you booked in for an appointment at a time that works for you.
