Online therapy you can trust
How are therapists approved to appear in our directory?
The practitioners listed in our directory are not employed or contracted by ProblemShared. However, we maintain this carefully curated directory as many work with us through private partnerships.
We have now made this directory publicly available to help you find trusted, third-party practitioners for online talk therapy sessions. We hold every therapist in our directory to the highest professional and ethical standards.
Each practitioner is thoroughly vetted by our in-house team, must be registered with the appropriate professional bodies, and demonstrate expertise in delivering effective online therapy. We will never include a therapist we wouldn’t work with ourselves.
Talk therapy for children
Many therapists in our directory have experience working with children and young people. Those who offer therapy to individuals under 18 have completed enhanced DBS checks and are thoroughly vetted by our in-house team to ensure the highest standards of care and safety.
Some therapists may offer one-to-one sessions alone with your child. Others may require a parent or guardian to be present. Your therapist will discuss these details with you early in the process to ensure you and your child are comfortable.
