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

Laura Mannucci
Psychotherapist & Integrative Psychotherapist
London, United Kingdom
Hi, I’m a psychologist offering online sessions in Spanish, Italian, and English.
I work with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in the merry-go-round of loss, anger, or relationship struggles.
You are feeling lost, stuck or uninspired; have the feeling that nothing works. Then maybe it's a good time to start talking to someone about it. Being able to inspire others could come as a side effect.
I work with people who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, uncertain or stuck, offering existential, embodied, and relational therapy that helps them realign with a sense of safety, belonging, authenticity, freedom and meaning.
Dmitry Gourov
Psychologist & Coach
Vienna, Austria
From the outside, your life works.
You Perform. Think. Feel. Achieve.
But Inside, something is quietly collapsing.
You understand your patterns intellectually.
But still end up repeating them.
In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.
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.
