Start with what is on your mind
You do not need the right word for it. Choose whatever feels closest; the number shows how many therapists here list that topic.
-
Thoughts and habits
Thoughts that keep coming back, checking or repeating things, finding it hard to let go of possessions, or habits that feel hard to change.
-
Worry, fear and mood
Worry that is hard to switch off, fear in particular situations, low days, or past experiences that still weigh on you.
-
How you feel about yourself
Self-worth, guilt, anger, loneliness, loss, and the question of what matters to you.
-
People, work and change
The relationships around you, caring for others, work, and times when life is shifting.

Plain facts before you start
A few things worth knowing about this directory and about therapy.
-
Therapy is support, not a diagnosis
Therapy gives you regular time to talk through what is going on with someone trained to listen. The profiles here do not diagnose anything, and reading one does not commit you to anything.
-
Listing a topic is not proof of specialist training
Every therapist here lists obsessions, compulsions and OCD, or hoarding, among their focus areas. Each profile also shows everything else they work with. If particular experience matters to you, ask about it.
-
No one can promise a result
A profile can help you judge whether someone's way of working might suit you. It cannot tell you how therapy will go, and no therapist can promise a particular outcome.
-
Credentials depend on the country
US therapists list a state license and usually an NPI number. Therapists and counsellors in the UK and Australia list registration with a professional body, such as the BACP in the UK or ACA in Australia.
Take it one profile at a time.
Read a few profiles, note anyone whose way of working sounds right for you, and come back whenever you are ready.
