Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a therapist?

Read several profiles before deciding. Look at the areas each person names, the methods they list, how long they have practised, and whether the way they describe their work sounds like someone you could talk to.

Does RenewNormal check the therapists listed?

No. Details come from BetterHelp, the platform these therapists work through, and we do not verify anyone's professional standing ourselves. Credentials are shown as supplied, and you should confirm anything that matters to you directly.

Are the sessions online?

Yes. Every session arranged through this directory happens online. There are no in-person appointments.

What does it cost to use this site?

Nothing. Browsing is free and needs no account. If you go on to sign up through a link here, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Who is listed?

Counsellors and psychotherapists practising in the United Kingdom who work through BetterHelp. Most are registered or accredited with a body such as the BACP or the NCPS, shown on each profile as supplied.

Are you a therapist?

If you have found your own profile here, this page explains where the details came from and how to have them corrected or removed.
