Counselling Directory Review

I really enjoyed my experience of writing and submitting my profile to the Counselling Directory.
I received a follow-up phone call and email, and information regarding how to improve my profile.
I was very impressed by the service that I received.

The best directory for therapists

I have worked as a therapist with this directory since 2020 and have found them nothing but supportive. Today I had to call them for support with something really challenging and they were amazing 10/10 service

You'll be lucky if you get any response at all!!

Well, I`m on the third attempt at trying to speak to a counselor. I've received confirmation emails of all the planned times and dates of the initial phone consultations, and every time I've been let down with zero contact, and zero reasons as to why nobody followed through with the planned sessions. I've contacted Counselling Directory who just said to contact the counselors directly (which I did) and ask them why they haven't followed through on any of the confirmed sessions (which I have) and still no response from the service themselves or any of their counselors. If you need help use another service !!! shocking considering the nature of this business. (would give a 0 rating if possible)

Hi Brendan,

We're so sorry you haven't received a response from the therapists you reached out to. We know how much it can take to reach out and ask for support, and not receiving a response can be not only frustrating but also disheartening.

We do encourage all our therapists to respond to all client enquiries where possible, and ensure their availability is up to date.

We'd really like to help you find someone suitable. Please do reach us at info@counselling-directory.org.uk and we'll do all we can to help.

Take care,
Becky

The counselling adviser who I spoke with regarding the reactivation of my account on The Counselling Directory was kind, patient, listened attentively and was exemplary in giving advice and guidance on how best I could make use of the services provided.
No new clients as of yet, but very early days.

The help on hte helpline was great

The help on hte helpline was great, encouraging and approachable.
On the workshop on your profile, it was beneficial. The time was difficult to manage and the questions really useful, but it would have been good to focus on direct questions on the QandA not people taking up the time with hands up as this seemed to knock the timing off and was not as useful.
To focus on the introductory profile bit would have been good as this is the first thing people see after the photos and was not referred to
Its Mrs Lownsborough not Mr as seen here.

I have used counselling Directory from its early beginnings, I have watched it grow as it has helped me too. Most people stop subscribing to a platform after a while, I have never looked back and would not want to always be part of this ever growing resource and help. Always friendly and quickly responsive. I don’t have a negative thing to say! Keep up the excellent work you have a great team! My experience with Cloe today in particular was so incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Counselling Directory has supported me to develop my private practice. It's much more than 'just' a directory, there are lots and lots of other benefits too. I've really enjoyed being part of the private Facebook community and writing articles for the website. A specific highlight for me has also been being offered opportunities to comment for counselling-related topics in well known publications. This has been really enjoyable, and it's helped me to develop my PR and marketing skills.
