The United Kingdom has no single register for talk therapy. The practitioner psychologist titles, clinical psychologist and counselling psychologist among them, are protected by law, and a person using one must appear on the Health and Care Professions Council register. Psychiatrists are doctors, held on the General Medical Council register.
Counsellor, psychotherapist and therapist are not protected titles. The check there is membership of a voluntary register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority, a body that accredits registers of practitioners not regulated by law. You can check a psychologist on the HCPC register and check a doctor on the General Medical Council register.
Real choice. Authentic, independent, clinician-led care.
TherapyRoute is a clinician-led directory that champions independent practitioners who answer to you and their professional ethics, not to investors or corporate interests. We don't take commissions, sell your data, or assign therapists by algorithm. You browse, compare, and choose.
