Frequently asked questions
Is online therapy effective?
Yes. Studies have found online therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to be as effective as face-to-face sessions for common problems such as depression. You also have your session from wherever you are, without a commute, and it is easier to find a time that suits you.
Read the full answerAre Shezlong therapists licensed?
Yes. Shezlong's medical team checks every therapist's qualifications and license before they join, and checks the licenses again regularly afterwards. Each therapist's profile shows their experience and certifications.
Read the full answerCan I stay anonymous?
Yes. You can sign up with a username instead of your real name, and the only personal detail we ask for is your email address. Your therapist sees your username, not your email, unless you choose to share it.
Read the full answerWhat is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication when it is needed, as well as offer therapy. A psychologist provides talk therapy, such as CBT, but cannot prescribe medication.
Read the full answerDo I have to turn my camera on?
Video is recommended, because facial expressions and body language help your therapist choose the best approach. If you'd rather not use your camera, you can have an audio-only session once your therapist agrees.
Read the full answerCan I have sessions from outside Egypt?
Yes. Sessions booked from Egypt are paid in Egyptian pounds, and sessions booked from other countries are paid in US dollars. If you travel between sessions, talk to your therapist or our support team first, so your booking matches where you are.
Read the full answerHow do I choose the right therapist?
Filter therapists by specialty, language and availability, then read their profiles for qualifications, experience and other clients' reviews. If you're still unsure, our support team can recommend a therapist for you.
Read the full answerDo you have a clinic?
No. Shezlong is an online platform, and all sessions take place by video or audio call, so you can have them privately from home or anywhere else.
