EmotionalSkillsOnline.com has launched a comprehensive online psychotherapy programme designed to guide participants through a year-long process of emotional development.
Created by Sonya Bell and Shane Lutkin, the course has been developed over two years and is positioned as an accessible alternative to traditional therapy formats.
The programme delivers weekly video sessions, allowing users to move through the material at their own pace. Payment options include monthly, six-monthly and annual subscriptions, with each session priced below £15.
It is based on a face-to-face model first introduced by Lutkin in 2013 and adapted for online use to meet increased demand for flexible support.
“We are now here, two-years later, we’ve co-written the program together. Everything in it is absolutely psychotherapy based, no AI whatsoever in any of it,” said Sonya Bell.
The course is intended for those seeking personal insight and confidence-building rather than crisis care.
“This is not crisis support. It’s more about low confidence, low esteem, and people feeling overwhelmed. They need a bit of help and the programme is something that helps you understand why you are feeling that way,” Sonya added.
The structured journey is designed to help participants explore root causes and develop practical tools over time.
“We encourage everyone to see the whole journey because it might be that you’ve got low confidence. But where does that come from? And so it’s a journey it takes you right from the start and hopefully gives you tools and techniques all the way along to kind of look at each issue and think, well I’m okay with that,” Sonya said.
Members gain access to supporting resources, specialist content and a free discovery session.
“Members don’t just get the sessions and the videos; they get access to blogs just for them and there’s a knowledge resource which is like an A to Z. The first session, the discovery, is free; you can watch it, try it and see if it is right for you,” Sonya said.
The organisation continues to expand its digital and in-person services while refining the programme through user feedback.
