Having practised as a therapist for twenty years I have had the privilege to work with many creative, resilient, courageous and resourceful people. However, very few felt that way when they first came for therapy. Life can be challenging and we all struggle at times to cope with problems and stressful situations. Different people obviously find different things difficult but what everyone shares are the natural responses of feeling distressed, confused, anxious and lost. Counselling can help you to express your feelings, work through anxiety and confusion and develop positive responses to the challenges you are facing.

Hi, I’m Corrie, My private practice is based in the Liverpool area and I am currently offering online sessions via Zoom for anyone in or outside the area. So just send me a text or email and I'll try to get back to you within 24 hours. I have experienced anxiety and depression myself and found counselling helped me and also motivated me to become a counsellor myself. I have an understanding of how difficult it can be to ask for help and be able to openly discuss issues you may be dealing with. Therefore, I provide a safe non-judgemental and confidential space where you can feel comfortable to be yourself.

Hi I’m Sophie, I see myself as open-minded and passionate about helping people through times of difficulty. You may be struggling with something on your own or feel you need support that you can't get anywhere else. What you say matters to me. I will listen deeply to what you’re going through and will be with you every step of the way. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space for you to explore whatever may be troubling you. Maybe you would like help to make sense of it all when things feel completely all over the place. You may even have emotions like shame, anger, jealousy, or guilt, that are difficult to talk about.

Hello, I’m Heidi. Welcome to my profile. To find you here most likely means you're looking for someone to help you overcome the mental health issues you're facing. Maybe you're struggling with depression and are finding it hard to motivate yourself to do much of anything. Or perhaps anxiety is controlling your life and stopping you from taking the opportunities you would like to give yourself. You might have experienced trauma and are bogged down by the past. Whether your problem is excessive worry, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks or low self-esteem, I am confident I can help you achieve a better quality of life.

Offering discounted prices for the months of January, February and March (as we all know, times are hard). Hi, I'm Sasha, a registered BACP counsellor offering Person Centred, CBT, and integrative therapy. My style is very much client-focused and I believe that a vital factor to counselling is for you to feel comfortable in the sessions. That you are able to approach your counsellor with honesty, openness and that you feel as if you are within a safe space. I understand the difficulties in even making the first move to reaching out. I have experience in a range of issues and will tailor sessions to suit your individual needs.

Have you been suffering for too long with feeling of anxiety, or re-occurring depression, perhaps a trauma or anger, maybe strong emotions or negative thinking that is stopping you from living life the way that you would like to live? As a therapist and teacher, I use a Human Givens model as it is based on cutting edge science, neurobiology and findings from psychology. The model is designed to allow clients/teenagers to step forward in their lives, quickly. The therapy is designed to be brief and will focus on getting you in a more positive way of thinking. Why not drop me a line and we can have a 15 mins, no obligation chat?

Hello, I'm Sammy, are you browsing this website because you feel in need of some support? Do you feel overwhelmed by emotions like frustration, anger, loneliness, anxiety, sadness, feel ‘stuck’, or perhaps you don’t know what is wrong but that something needs to change? In times such as these counselling can help. Counselling is, I believe, essentially a conversation between two people where you feel truly listened to, understood and without worry of interruption, judgement or criticism. A conversation which, at times, can be difficult but can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and your situation.

Unheard, misunderstood, confused, unsure, lost, desperate, feeling stuck, wanting to feel 'normal'. Any of these reasons and more can lead us to seek Counselling. I have been a therapist for 10 years, and practice in a Person-Centred way. What this means is, I truly believe when someone comes to see me they want to be listened to, not told it will be OK, or try this and do that. You have probably tried those things and still feel the same. What's needed is someone with the skill to help you navigate your feelings on a deeper level, to give you greater understanding of how you have come to feel the way you do.

I am a Principal Health Psychologist in the NHS who works with young adults through to older people. At the moment, people are struggling with the changes in our society; the cost of living crisis is having a big impact on people and so is the decline in support for physical and mental health. Waiting lists are increasing and this is resulting in people dealing with hard things for longer. I would like to help you get back to the life you want to live and support you to live well despite what is going on for you at this point in time.

I offer both long term and short term individual therapy sessions for clients. I have experience of working with clients for short term work through to therapeutic relationships which have lasted over years. The length of each individual sessions is always 50 minutes, however the length of time we work together is always guided by the client and the goals that they wish to achieve in therapy.

Richard Nicholls
Counsellor
At present life is currently very different from what we are used to, we are now spending more time indoors which can mean we feel isolated and anxious. Our moods are heavily influenced by our ability to engage with others and have meaningful relationships with others. I offer telephone and zoom based counselling which provides a unique experience of counselling. Counselling via the telephone and zoom offers the chance to hone in on specific cues to emotions and subtle views into someone's internal struggles offering a more in-depth therapeutic experience.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
