A person looking for therapy asks what an hour's visit costs, whether the price includes everything, whether the price is shown before booking and until when the appointment can be cancelled free of charge. These decide 50 points out of a hundred.

Notes
The comparison includes six therapy services that also offer appointments by video. The price is the cheapest published price for a 60-minute individual session, excluding Kela-reimbursable rehabilitation psychotherapy and excluding training psychotherapy.
Prices vary by therapist, so the figure is the lowest published price, not every therapist's price. Information that could not be read from the company's own website was not guessed: it receives zero points for that item, and the reason is shown under the company.
For Mehiläinen and Coronaria, prices were not found in publicly readable sources, and this is reflected in the points.
About this comparison
We scored 6 nationwide remote and online therapy services on 21 metrics. The key question for someone seeking help: are the appointment price, therapists' qualifications, eligibility for Kela reimbursement and availability of appointments shown on the site before contact, or do the therapy price and waiting time only become clear after a phone call?
Remote and online therapy means psychotherapy or other therapy carried out over a video connection, so help can be obtained regardless of place of residence. Someone looking for the service is often in a strained situation, so it is important that the price of the appointment, therapists' qualifications, the right to Kela reimbursement and availability of appointments are clearly visible on the website already before contact. In this guide we compare nationwide remote and online therapy services by how openly they state these terms, not by who has the lowest price or the widest range. We do not assess the quality of care or the skills of individual therapists.
What transparency means in this category
Consultation prices publicly shown before contact (20), remote or online consultation (video link) clearly described (15), Kela rehabilitation psychotherapy and eligibility for reimbursement explained (15), therapists' qualifications and training described (e.g. licensing, therapy orientation) (15), appointment can be booked online without calling (10), waiting time or availability of appointments stated (10), forms of therapy and range of services described (8), business ID (Y-tunnus) shown (7)
How to read the comparison correctly: Half of the points come from buyer's questions, i.e. things the buyer finds out before deciding. The other half measures how openly the company publishes its prices, terms and contact details. Clear differences in points indicate a genuine difference: one tells you the price immediately, another only after logging in. Close scores should not be read as a ranking order, because every measurement has a margin of variation. The measurement accuracy and the full calculation formula are open in the methodology.
Customer experience is brought into the assessment separately. We also collect customer feedback and customer experiences about companies through separate surveys. The survey results will be added to the overall assessment later.
Who is on the list? Included are nationwide services that offer psychotherapy or therapy remotely (video appointment) to all of Finland. Included are both therapy practices specialised in mental health and large private healthcare companies whose services include remote therapy. Not included are public services (Mielenterveystalo, HUS), individual practitioners without a registered company, or therapist directories (Minduu, ValitseTerapia) that only pass on contact details.
What do we measure? The comparison concerns the transparency of the service for someone seeking help: whether the reception prices are visible without making contact, whether remote or video appointments are described, whether the right to Kela rehabilitation psychotherapy reimbursement is stated, whether the therapists' qualifications and training are presented, whether an appointment can be booked online, whether the waiting time is stated, whether the range of services is described, and whether the Business ID is shown. A person seeking therapy is often in a burdened situation, so clear and open information is important.
Bot or server blocking is a measurement gap. If a service's page was behind a bot or cookie wall, fully rendered with JavaScript or did not respond at the time of measurement, it is marked as a measurement gap, not as zero. Walls are not circumvented.
Comparison guide
What to consider in the comparison
Kela's rehabilitative psychotherapy can be received by people aged 16-67 whose ability to work or study is at risk because of a mental disorder. Before a rehabilitation decision, at least two treatment visits and a doctor's statement are usually required.
Kela reimburses remote psychotherapy on the same grounds as that given at an appointment when it is carried out by video link. Therapy given purely by telephone does not entitle you to Kela reimbursement.
In 2026 the Kela reimbursement for individual therapy is 57.60 euros per visit, and the customer pays the rest of the visit price themselves. The actual out-of-pocket cost therefore depends on the provider's visit price.
The title of licensed psychotherapist and the qualifications of a healthcare professional are supervised by an authority. An open service states the therapists' training and therapy approach already on its website.
How Suomen Paras assesses and scores
Every company is measured with the same public formula: half of the points come from buyer's questions and half from basic metrics, which have four pillars: technical quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality score. Ranking cannot be bought, and you can see the origin of each point on the company's profile. Read the full methodology →
Expert tips
Check the visit price before getting in touch. Some services publish the full price list and separate the prices of Kela rehabilitative psychotherapy and therapy provided without Kela support, while for others the price only becomes clear when booking an appointment.
Make sure the therapy is delivered by video link if you are applying for Kela reimbursement. At the same time, check which programme or app the video appointment uses.
Find out about availability of appointments. Some services show free slots directly in online booking, which tells you more about the queue situation than a mere promise of speed.
Check the therapists' qualifications and therapy orientation. An open service presents its therapists with their training and states whether they are licensed psychotherapists.
Find out who you are dealing with. The company behind the service and its business ID (Y-tunnus) tell you who any complaints and data protection matters should be addressed to.
Frequently asked questions
Does Kela reimburse remote therapy?
Kela reimburses remote psychotherapy on the same grounds as that given at an appointment, when it is carried out via a video connection. Therapy given only by telephone does not entitle to reimbursement. Rehabilitative psychotherapy can be obtained by a person aged 16-67 whose ability to work or study is threatened due to a mental disorder, and the decision generally requires a physician's statement and at least two treatment visits.
How much does online therapy cost?
Visit prices vary by service, often from around a hundred euros upwards. In Kela's rehabilitation psychotherapy, Kela reimburses 57.60 euros per visit of individual therapy in 2026, and the customer pays the rest. The actual out-of-pocket share depends on the provider's visit price, so it is worth checking the price list before making contact.
Is remote therapy as effective as an in-person visit?
Remote therapy brings the same professional's support over a video connection and is especially useful when there is no suitable therapist nearby or travelling to an appointment is difficult. The most suitable method of delivery depends on the situation, and it can be discussed with the service provider before starting.
How do I choose a remote or online therapy service?
Compare services by how openly they state the visit price, eligibility for Kela reimbursement, therapists' qualifications and availability of appointments already on the website. An open service publishes a price list, describes video appointments and presents its therapists with their education, so you know the terms before making contact.
