Welcome to Counselling Network

We help you find the right counsellor in a way that suits you. You can search by location, the kind of support you want, and whether you'd like to meet online or in person. Profiles can include several photos, video introductions, and clear details about experience, approach, fees, and availability, so it's easier to see who feels like a good fit before you get in touch.

Counselling Network also offers more helpful features than most counselling sites: flexible location search, easy ways to pay (including secure online payment links where counsellors provide them), and unique QR codes that take you straight to a counsellor's profile when you scan them on a poster, card, or website.

Our community is still growing, so in some areas you may see fewer counsellors for now. New professionals are joining all the time, adding more choice and experience.

What Clients Are Saying About Our Counsellors

Real feedback from clients who found their ideal counsellor

DG

I had a great experience with uplift therapy solutions. Nad was incredible — patient, clear and genuinely invested in helping me improve. He helped me understand my patterns of overthinking and gave me practical tools to handle my anxious situations. Overall, he’s not just a skilled therapist but also a genuinely good person who truly wants to help. I’m really grateful for everything I learned and can’t thank Nad enough for all his support throughout.

S & J

‘This is the best we’ve been in a long time. When I first called, I felt very low and thought we were going to separate. We were living parallel lives but now we feel together. Communication is much better between us’

Carly Sheehan

"I have had one session of life coaching with the lovely Harry and already my situation has improved! Harry is a great listener, and his knowledge and wisdom shone through when helping me with a particularly difficult problem I have been dealing with. Together we came up with a plan, which I've started implementing already, and it's amazing how things have started falling into place so soon. I'd recommend this service to anyone who is finding life hard and needs a new perspective on life."

GV

“The sessions I had with Caroline were quietly transformative. From the outset, she created an atmosphere of safety and I sensed a deep level of integrity that allowed me to be completely honest with myself and my grief without my usual protective social mask. I had 12 sessions with Caroline and by the end I left feeling more whole and clearer in myself."

HZ

As a Uni student I struggle with anxiety and have a dysfunctional family. Working with Kam helped me to understand my triggers, defences and attachment issues. I was able to work on my fears and insecurities without judgement. I felt safe, seen and heard. Kam has a way of making you feel understood and comfortable and less alone. She uses different techniques to help which i found helpful.

Client with OCD

I just wanted to say a big thank you for the consultation session last week. It was really helpful, quite possibly the most helpful session I’ve had so far regarding my OCD. It was genuinely so insightful and made so much sense to me, and confirmed that I’ve made the right choice in seeking different therapy for my OCD

Kenny G

I am very grateful to Sharon for the effort she made with me. I have seen OHU counsellors and NHS counsellors too but I would say from the CBT point of view Sharon was really good in her field, she was understanding, knowledgeable and professional. And by far the best therapist I have interacted with on a CBT front. My panic attacks and anxiety were illnesses related and very severe. I would definitely recommend engaging in a few sessions especially if you are experiencing complex issues.

U.L.

“I had been struggling with attachment issues, anxiety, and a sense of lack of purpose, which deeply affected my life and made dating particularly difficult. My sessions with Reena were truly transformative. Through our work together, I gained a deeper understanding of myself and uncovered that the anxiety, overwhelm, frustration, and attachment struggles I was experiencing stemmed from unresolved grief I had been carrying for many years. Reena helped me process and release this grief."

Client with Tokophobia

I did it! So thank you for all your help and support on this journey, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your encouragement.

Caroline M

For those considering working with Sharon I cannot recommend highly enough that you give it a try. For me the results have been life changing and definitely worth the investment. I have found myself tackling some really difficult issues with an assertiveness I didn’t have before. I now know what I want out of life, have strong convictions and a sense of direction. I believe in myself and feel excited about the future.
