A different way to find therapy
Find a therapist who fits you
Therapy is personal, and finding the right person should not mean scrolling through hundreds of profiles. Answer six short questions and we will show you who fits, and why.
Technology narrows the search. People make the match.
Tell us what you need
Six questions about what you are going through, what you want from therapy, and how it needs to fit around your life. Skip any of them.
We show you who fits
Three to five therapists, not eight hundred. Chosen on what you told us, not on who paid the most.
You see why
Every match comes with a written explanation of why we think that person suits you. Disagree with it and try another.
No mystery, no algorithm score
An example of what you get
Why we think this therapist could be a good fit
You said you wanted someone warm but fairly direct, that you would rather meet in person, and that evenings are the only time that works. This therapist works integratively, sees people about anxiety and relationships most weeks, and has Tuesday and Thursday evenings free.
Written from your answers, in sentences you can argue with. Not a percentage and not a black box.
Every therapist is checked by a person before their profile goes live
- Registration confirmed against the register, and its expiry
- Qualifications seen
- Indemnity insurance confirmed
- Supervision confirmed
- Identity confirmed
- Re-checked every twelve months, and the badge lapses on its own if it is not
Gototherapy Verified is our own check. It does not replace registration with a professional body, and we show you both separately on every profile.
What we will not do
No paid ranking
Position in your matches is never for sale. Where a paid placement exists anywhere on the site, it is labelled on the card.
No commission on your sessions
What you pay your therapist is between you and them.
No reviews or star ratings
Not because nobody wrote any. A public review of a named therapist would publish the reviewer's own health data.
Nothing sold on
No advertising or analytics scripts on the pages where you tell us about your health.
