Why matching is important
Research shows that the most important factor for successful therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship and alliance. That's where our matching service comes in - by combining the best of human engineering with personalised support by our psychologists, we do some of the groundwork to find the right fit. We'll help you connect with a therapist with a good track record and whose experience and personality best fit your needs.Start matching

One does not have to be a therapist to realise that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, with whom you can build a strong alliance, doesn't have to be. This is the founding principle of It's Complicated, a global network of 2,500+ therapists on a mission to build the world's most sustainable therapy platform.A few years in, we've helped tens of thousands of clients and counting, and built thriving therapy communities in major European cities such as Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lisbon, and Vienna.
It's Complicated is not suitable for acute psychological or medical crises or emergency situations.If you are in a serious crisis and need urgent help, please contact a local emergency service or use one of these resources instead.
