We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer ¹.

This list answers an explicit request for a woman. While many people prefer this, we found no research on whether it changes how the therapy goes.

A client and a practitioner always differ; what matters is what that means to you and how you work with it ².

Everyone on this page describes their work as counselling. A counsellor listens and helps you find your own solutions to problems ³.

A counsellor is not a medical doctor and does not prescribe or diagnose. Ask a counsellor what they work with, and for how long.
