We cooperate with
GoMentor is one of the most used portals for online counselling.
Our vision is to help people reach their full potential by offering counselling in a modern and convenient way. We believe that a lot of people around the world have a lot of an undeveloped potential that could provide them with a more fulfilling life if that potential is reached.
We know that many people are stuck in a negative situation. For instance, in regards to traumatic experiences and repressed feelings - with large negative consequences for themselves and those around them. We believe that this undeveloped potential can be released with the correct professional guidance. We are convinced that it is possible for everyone to move their life forward and feel better.
We have gathered all psychological, therapeutic and coaching professions in one place under the name 'counsellors', who all are ready to help you move your life forward. At GoMentor you get convenient and affordable counselling, anytime and anywhere.
GoMentor 24/7 provides confidential online counselling where you can write unlimited with your personal psychologist, therapist or coach through GoMentor’s secure online platform.
You can write unlimited from your computer, tablet or smartphone, whether you need therapy, coaching or guidance to move forward in your life. You can choose between a weekly or monthly subscription and it is always possible for you to unsubscribe.
GoMentor offers users two types of services; GoMentor 24/7 and Online Video Sessions.
The GoMentor 24/7 option allows users to write unlimitedly to a counsellor that they are matched up with.
The Online Video Sessions service offers users to conduct their sessions with their counsellor via our secure video platform.
Please note the therapy services are provided by independent professionals who work directly with you. These professionals are not employees of GoMentor and the site doesn't oversee them professionally.
Yes, we only use qualified professionals whose qualifications and experience are verified before we assign them as counsellors for GoMentor.
Online therapy and online coaching works the same way as traditional in-clinic therapy and coaching.
You and a counsellor communicate with each other through an online media platform (a secure messaging platform or video solution available through GoMentor's site).
The benefits from using online therapy and online coaching are clear:
From the homepage:
You can either choose the ‘Right now:Try at half price’ option which takes you to the user registration page. For registration, we require you to register with a username, your email address, information about your situation, any preferences, and which kind of subscription you are interested in. Upon completion of these details your user account is ready.
On the search site:
From the homepage choose the ‘Our Counsellors’ option to be able to view and search for a counsellor. In the search box you can search by a particular issue by entering the subject you require help with.
You can also specify your search using the following parameters under the ‘More filters’ option:
If you find a counsellor who you think is suitable for you, select the ‘Book’ option to view their profile and then select the ‘Contact me’ to send that particular counsellor a message if you need any additional information.
If you wish to select that counsellor immediately, you can choose the ‘Right now:Try at half price’ option against either the weekly or monthly subscription, or select ‘Book time’ if you prefer one of the services the counsellor is offering. By selecting either of these two options, you will be registered as a user.
The matching process works on the basis of the areas of concern the user advises us of, including any other factors such as gender that they wish to specify.
We enter the users criteria into our search engine for the matches, and the system runs a search and match program with all of our online counsellors and provides the best match. The user is then connected with the best counsellor match found.
Alternatively, users can also search and request specific counsellors themselves. In such cases where a user chooses the counsellor themselves, we simply complete the match with the requested counsellor.
When you have been successfully matched, both the user and the counsellor will receive an email confirmation of the completed match. You will then be able to begin messaging your newly matched user or counsellor immediately via the GoMentor 24/7 platform.
When you sign up for GoMentor 24/7 you tell us a little about yourself and your situation. This information will enable GoMentor Support to be able to match you with a suitable counsellor who can help you to with specific regards to your needs and situation. At GoMentor we strive to match you up with the right psychologist, therapist or coach for you and your needs within 24 hours on weekdays.
Alternatively, you can also browse the counsellors via the ‘Counsellors’ option and select a counsellor who you think is suitable for you. Once you have chosen a counsellor, you would simply choose the ‘Right now:Try at half price’ option or another of the services offered, and then complete the online details. Your subscription period will start only after you are assigned with a counsellor, or when a counsellor confirms back to you.There are 4 main factors that we focus on as good foundations for a successful conversation course.
Free choice
First of all, it is very important that you can freely choose your conversation partner. It means, that you should get an overview of your possibilities and then choose amongst them.
Chemistry
The most important factor in successful conversation therapy is that the chemistry between you and your counsellor is good - that you trust your instinct that you have chosen the right counsellor. It is important that you feel welcomed, understood and respected in a way that makes you feel safe and makes you trust your counsellor, which will allow you to open up and talk freely about your problem.
You can almost always feel if the chemistry is good the first time you meet a new person, and the same goes for online conversations, even when you just book time.
All GoMentor counsellors offer a free and short prior conversation in the form of short messages, so you can create a first impression before choosing to start a course. We recommend that you contact 2-3 counsellors and assess if the chemistry feels right before making your final choice.
Furthermore, we recommend that you make your choice of counsellor more valid by reading several different counsellor profiles on our website to help narrow down the number of counsellors relevant to you.
Choose a counsellor, who has experience with your particular problem
When you have to choose a counsellor, it is a good idea to choose someone who has a solid experience within the area where you seek help.
It is easy to target your search on GoMentor's homepage by editing the search filters, so that you are only presented with counsellors with special knowledge and experience on the particular areas that you seek help with.
Successful treatment works fast
When conversation treatment works, you will feel a relief pretty quick and typically within 3-6 conversations.
If the quick relief is absent, then it is important that you talk to your counsellor about it. What can be done differently to achieve better results? Or would it be more beneficial to find a new counsellor?
Yes, it is entirely your choice whether you wish to remain anonymous or not. You can choose your own username, and are not obliged to provide any personal information about yourself to your counsellor if you do not wish to do so. The email address you register with will not be visible to your counsellor. This is only used by GoMentor Support to send you notifications when your counsellor has replied to you and to send you a link to your invoice (monthly statement) with an overview of your payments.
You can write as much or as little as you want, there is no limitation. Please be aware that if you do send long messages to your counsellor, it can take longer for your counsellor to respond as they will try to provide you with an answer covering all aspects of your needs.
Your counsellor is obligated to answer you within 24 hours all weekdays. Although it can take a few hours between the messages, our counsellors strive to reply as soon as they can. GoMentor 24/7 is not an instant live chat. Our counsellors spend time and thoroughness with each message to provide you with the best possible response addressing your needs. You will receive a notification by email when your counsellor has sent you a message.
Our subscription prices are:
The prices are shown as weekly payments which makes it possible for you to see how much you will save by choosing a monthly subscription. The payment is made upon signup and will cover the period you have chosen (week or month).
With Online Video Sessions, the price is set by the individual counsellor. The price you see will be for the complete bundle, not per session.
We accept all major debit/credit cards. Unfortunately we do not accept PayPal or bank transfers.
When you use GoMentor 24/7 you have the opportunity to complement your subscription with Online Video Sessions. The Online Video Sessions are at an additional charge. Please note that the additional charges for Online Video Sessions are set by the individual counsellors, so prices can vary. It is not possible to get your money refunded from your prepaid subscription. You can book an Online Video Session in the GoMentor dashboard.

If your counsellor does offer Online Video Sessions, on his/her profile simply select the ‘Book time' option next to the particular Online Video Session you are interested in. Please note Online Video Sessions are offered in bundles in a minimum of 4 and prices are set by the individual counsellor. Once you select the ‘Book’ option, you will be able to select a time slot from the counsellors calendar. The times shown are automatically adjusted to reflect the timezone you are in. Once you have chosen an available time-slot, choose the ‘Confirm times and continue’ option. You then need to enter your contact information, before progressing to the payment page.
The counsellor will then contact and confirm privately with you. You will receive automated messages from GoMentor with regards to your booking, and reminders before the Online Video Session is due to start.

Even though GoMentor Support strives to find the best possible match in a counsellor for you, we can understand that in few cases the matches may not be compatible due to personal interaction. If you feel that there is no chemistry between you and your counsellor or that the counsellor cannot help you with what you need, you are more than welcome to request another. You can do this by either of the following options:
Your counsellor is required to inform you about any vacation plans or sickness if it has any affect on his/her availability to respond to you. In such circumstances, the period will be deducted from your next payment so you do not have to pay for them. If the counsellor is sick for more than 3 days, you will be able to request a new counsellor with one days notice.
Customer care is extremely important to GoMentor and something we take very seriously for our users to be happy with the service and experience they receive with the counsellors. In any circumstances where users are dissatisfied with a counsellor, you can lodge a formal complaint.
Complaints must be in writing by using the “Contact” page on our website, giving full details to GoMentor to substantiate your claims regarding the session, including the date, payment method and counsellor information. You should also provide your preferred means of communication (telephone or mail) in order for GoMentor to respond to your complaint. If you are an EU resident you can also complain online via EU’s ODRUnfortunately, it is not possible to be forwarded by referral. However, you can still use our counsellors and subscription services in order to receive the help you need. You can search for counsellors based on subject areas.
Unfortunately, we do not accept insurance to cover subscription costs.
However, you may be able to recover some costs back from your insurance provider. This depends on which kind of healthcare insurance you have. There are some policies where you can freely choose your services and then just have to send the receipt (or the psychologist sends the receipt) to the insurance company to recover costs. Then there are other health care insurances that have some limitations in regards to your free choice of psychologist, and where you have to use the insurance's procedure showed.
In either case, you would need to contact your healthcare insurance provider for details and information on whether they would cover this type of service and how you would get that payment reimbursed.
