Why we rank by fit, never by fee
02 Why Gototherapy

Therapy is a relationship, not an algorithm.

Most directories rank therapists by who paid the most or replied the fastest. We do it differently. Gototherapy is built around the one thing research consistently points to as mattering most: the quality of the relationship between you and the person sitting opposite you.

So we give you the space to read someone properly, including their training, their approach and how they actually talk, before you ever send a message.

  • Every professional is vetted, individually

    We check qualifications, insurance and current registration with the BACP, UKCP, NCPS, COSRT or HCPC before a profile goes live. We check again every year.

  • Emotional safety comes first

    No pressure, no cold-call sales, no data sold on. You contact a therapist when you are ready, in your own time, and you are free to change your mind.

  • Honest about cost and fit

    Fees, concession places and free introductory calls are shown up front. If a therapist is not the right fit, they will tell you, and we will help you keep looking.
