01 / Why us

We've connected 47,000+ people across the UK with the right counsellor since 2023.

Not because we're a slick app. Because every counsellor on this directory is BACP-aligned, writes their own profile, and you reach them directly — no booking middleman, no algorithm deciding for you.

02 / What's bringing you here

Find help with what's actually on your mind

Pick whichever feels closest — you can refine later. Each card opens a list of counsellors who work specifically with that.

03 / How it works

Three steps, no fluff

From searching to your first message takes about ten minutes. Most people start a conversation within an hour.

01

Search by what matters

Type your postcode, pick what you'd like help with. Filter by online or in-person, by language, by gender, by anything that matters to you.

02

Read profiles, in their words

Every counsellor writes their own profile. You see how they think, how they work, what their fees are, when they're available. No marketing fluff, no auto-generated bios.

03

Message directly

Send an enquiry through their profile — it lands in their inbox, not ours. No platform booking fees, no commission. You deal directly with the counsellor.

05 / Meet a few

Real people, ready to listen

A small sample. Each has their own training, their own approach. Every credential is verified before they're listed.

I tried three different counsellors before I found someone I genuinely clicked with. GoToTherapy made that part of the process so much easier than anything else I tried.

06 / The promise

Built differently.

Most directories make money by ranking counsellors who pay more. We make money from membership fees. The result is different.

01

Free for clients, always

Will never charge you to search, contact, or browse. Not now, not later, no premium tier.

02

No paid rankings

Search results are by relevance to your search — never by who paid more. Featured tier exists for visibility, not ranking.

03

Profiles in their own voice

Counsellors write their own profiles. We don't AI-generate, sanitise, or 'optimise' them.

04

Credentials, actually checked

Every BACP/UKCP/BABCP membership verified before listing. Re-checked annually.
