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.

Without Andrew, I’m not sure I’d be here. I had been suicidal and in a pretty sorry state, but with his experience, patience and guidance, I’m still here. My wife has her husband back and my children their father.

Nad is great at what he does. Not only does he listen in a non judgemental way but he also gives practical solutions to problems which is really helpful. He is good at helping you reflect on an issue and come up with a solution and put in practical steps to move forward. I struggled for years to get into exercising but now more motivated for first time in a long time. Thanks for the great support

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.
