A safe space to explore how therapy can work for you. Our free, one-hour guided sessions with experienced psychologists help you understand what therapy is, how it supports your well-being, and whether it's right for you. A friendly chat to light the way forward for better mental health.
Getting started with The Little Lantern is easy! Here's how it works:
Request a free conversation if you'd like help in understanding therapy.
Our team will get in touch with you and offer a convenient time to speak with one of our qualified psychologists.
During your conversation, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about how therapy can support you.
After your session, feel free to share any feedback to help us improve our services.
A few things to keep in mind before your conversation
This conversation isn't a therapy session. The intention is to help you make an informed decision about starting therapy.
The purpose is to help you understand how therapy can support you in the long run.
We offer this consultation only once per person. Please come prepared with your questions.
Think of this as your first step on a journey. We're here to make that first step as easy and stress-free as possible.
Lighting the way to better mental health understanding
People around us, especially young adults, are really struggling with mental health. Yet, their understanding about therapy, how it works, and how it's different from a medical consultation is inadequate. Due to this, mental health professionals also struggle at being effective at their job.
We want to help people be able to speak to an expert in a judgement-free environment, understand therapy, and get their questions addressed before they take that important step in their life.
A little light can go a long way—we believe in taking small, steady steps toward greater awareness and openness.
Creating a safe, judgment-free space where people can explore their questions about therapy.
Helping individuals make informed decisions about their mental health journey through education and guidance.

Yes, every therapist volunteering with The Little Lantern is a certified professional. We ensure all psychologists are qualified and deeply passionate about mental health advocacy. Once your session is confirmed, you'll receive an email with the details of the psychologist you'll be speaking with.
During your one-hour online consultation, you'll have a friendly and confidential conversation with a qualified psychologist. This is your opportunity to learn about therapy, ask questions, and understand how it might benefit you. Remember, this isn't a therapy session but rather an informative discussion to help you make informed decisions about your mental health journey.
The Little Lantern is a fully volunteer-led initiative with no revenue operations. These sessions are offered at no cost to you.
You absolutely can! However, The Little Lantern focuses on helping you explore what therapy is without the pressure of committing to it. Our sessions are designed to address misconceptions, clarify expectations, and help you identify the right first step towards mental well-being.
We recommend doing independent research to find a therapist who feels right for you. This helps you avoid the natural bias of continuing with the same therapist. However, if you feel it's absolutely necessary to work with the same psychologist, we can help you reconnect with them.
We don't provide direct referrals, as we want to stay neutral and empower you to make the best choice for yourself. However, we're happy to guide you on how to find a good therapist and what to consider when choosing one.
After the session, we'd love to hear your feedback and provide any follow-up reading materials you might need. If you found the session helpful, consider sharing The Little Lantern with your friends and family.
