A new way to find the right support

Start with how you feel — not the right words

When you're struggling, it's hard to know where to start. You might not have the clinical terms to describe what you're going through.

That's okay. You don't need them.

Counselling.Network is built to understand how you actually feel — not just keywords. Describe your experience in your own words, and we'll help you find the right support.

Start with how you feel

People don't search using clinical terms. They describe their experience.

"I feel overwhelmed all the time"
"I can't stop overthinking"
"I feel numb and exhausted"
"I keep arguing with my partner"
"I'm struggling since my loss"
"I don't feel like myself anymore"

How it works

Three simple steps to finding the right support

1

You describe how you feel

Use your own words. There's no wrong way to express what you're going through. Just type what's on your mind.

2

We connect meaning

Our platform understands the meaning behind your words — not just keywords. We match your experience with counsellors who specialise in what you're facing.

3

Real feedback from clients who found the right support

I’ve been going to sessions with Lisa for almost a year and a half, after struggling with the effects of childhood trauma I needed someone to help me unpack everything and help to improve self esteem, anxiety, depression and relationships with others. Lisa has been a wonderful therapist and has truly helped me to change my life, how I feel about myself, understand my life experiences and understand how to better connect with others. She creates a warm and accepting environment, recommend.

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.

Thank you. I genuinely couldn’t have found a better individual to speak to if I was still searching now. Sharon recognised bits and pieces I hadn’t even thought of before we really got talking. I opened up my world, Sharon listened carefully and acted with consideration not just for me but for those of importance to me. You are an incredibly gifted professional and I would not hesitate in recommending you.
