Counselling · Anywhere else

Counselling in a country not listed here

Every session is held by secure video, so where you sit is up to you. What matters is that you tell us where that is, because it decides who is able to work with you.

Ask us first. We are building capacity here and cannot promise a match yet. Write to us and we will tell you honestly whether we can help — and where to look if we cannot.

Who is allowed to work with you

If your country is not listed, write to us anyway. We will look at what registration is required where you live and tell you honestly whether we can help. Sometimes the answer is that we can match you within a few weeks. Sometimes it is that we cannot lawfully work with you and you would be better served locally — and if that is the answer, we will help you find where to look.

We will tell you which registration your counsellor holds and give you the number, so you can check it against the register yourself before you book. If you would rather not take that on trust, you shouldn't have to.

Paying, and whether anything comes back

Assume you will be paying directly unless you hold an international policy with outpatient mental health cover.

You'll know what a session costs before you book it, never after. If cost is what's stopping you, say so — we hold a small number of reduced-fee places and nobody will ask you to justify the request.

Time zones

You are in whatever yours is. We confirm your local time in writing before your first session, because a mix-up discovered at six in the morning is nobody's idea of a good start.

If you need help now

Call your local emergency number. Befrienders Worldwide lists helplines by country at befrienders.org, and the International Association for Suicide Prevention maintains a directory at iasp.info.

We are not a crisis service and cannot respond urgently or out of hours, anywhere. More options are on our crisis page.

What we work with

The same work, wherever you are

Trauma Therapy

When something overwhelming happens, your body does what it needs to do to get you through it, and then doesn't always switch off afterwards. We work with that directly, at whatever pace you can manage.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR helps your mind finish processing something it couldn't process at the time. It's one of the most researched trauma treatments there is, and it usually asks far less of you than telling the story over and over.

ADHD Therapy

You've probably tried the apps and the planners already. We'll build the practical side with you, and we'll also work on what tends to go unaddressed: the years of assuming you should find all this easier.

Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression are usually how something else shows up on the surface. Your symptoms are real and worth treating, and we'd rather work with what's driving them than teach you to live around them.

Grief & Loss

Grief doesn't follow a schedule and it rarely looks the way you expect. Nobody here will hurry you through it or hand you a set of stages to work along.

Couples Therapy

Most couples aren't really arguing about the thing they're arguing about. We help you see what's actually happening between you when it escalates, and what it would take to change it.
