Questions people ask first
Do I need a referral first?
No. You can look up a counsellor here yourself and read their profile before you decide anything.
What should I check about someone?
The professional body on their profile, such as BACP or NCPS. Membership can be checked on that body's own register.
Is it face to face?
Everyone listed here works online, so sessions happen by video, phone or messaging rather than in a room.
3,275 counsellors listed, all in the United Kingdom
