Mental health

Counselling Directory

The purpose of this site is ultimately to provide the UK with a huge counselling support network, enabling those in distress to find a counsellor close to them and appropriate for their needs. This is a free, confidential service that will hopefully encourage those in distress to seek help. The website also contains a number of sections on emotional disorders (types of distress section) and provides some useful statistics. Every counsellor on the Councilling Directory has either sent a copy of their qualifications and insurance cover, or is registered with a professional body online with recognised codes of ethics and practice.
