I've changed in so many ways, I feel so much lighter. It's not so much of a traffic jam in my head now. I have been in counselling since I was 18 (now age 38) and this is the only one that's ever worked, it's been life changing. I’ve never done the exposure hierarchy before and that really worked for me to tackle my anxiety rather than just coping strategies.
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
You find the right support
Browse counsellors matched to your needs. Read their approaches, see client testimonials, and reach out when you're ready.

Real feedback from clients who found the right support
We came into couples therapy with Kam due to infidelity and she helped us to hear each other without things escalating. We found her approach very real, and fair. She never took sides and was able to help us to navigate a very difficult time in our marriage. We chose to stay together and have learned to move forward by processing the past. We couldn’t have done this without Kam’s support.
I have been a user of Jo's services for a number of years now. As a neurodivergent woman I quite often find it difficult to express my feelings clearly, but Jo has always understood me completely. She is professional, very empathetic, extremely patient and never fails to help me with any issues I might have. I can't recommend her enough!
