A directory of therapists in the US, UK and Australia
Talk to someone who understands that life does not pause for your health.
Browse therapists who list support for living with illness, pain or disability. Each profile also shows their other areas of practice, so you can see the whole person you might talk to.
Start with what is on your mind
You do not need the right word for it. Pick the topic that feels closest; the number shows how many therapists here list it.
Living with a health condition
A diagnosis, ongoing pain, treatment, a change in your body or senses, and how all of that sits with the rest of your life.
Caring, loss and change
Looking after someone, growing older, saying goodbye, or adjusting when life takes a turn you did not plan for.
Mood, stress and rest
Worry that will not switch off, low days, poor sleep, feeling cut off from people, or old experiences that still weigh on you.
You, your people and your work
How you see yourself, the relationships around you, and the pressures of work and money.
Where therapists are based
Sessions are online, so where someone is based mostly matters for how their credentials work. Browse by the country or US state shown on each profile.

Good to know before you start
Alongside your medical care, not instead of it
Therapy is emotional support: time to talk about how a diagnosis, pain or a change in your body is affecting your mood, relationships and plans. It does not replace your doctor, specialist or care team, and the therapists here do not diagnose or treat physical conditions.
Whole people, many focus areas
Every therapist listed includes living with illness, pain, disability or cancer among their focus areas. Each profile also shows everything else they work with, so you can judge whether their experience fits you.
No promised outcome
No therapist can promise a particular result. A profile can help you decide whether someone's way of working might suit you, and you can always ask them about it.
Credentials depend on the country
US therapists list a state license and an NPI number. Therapists and counsellors in the UK and Australia list membership of a professional body, such as the BACP in the UK or ACA in Australia.
Looking after your mind is part of looking after yourself.
Read a few profiles, notice who you feel you could talk to, and keep a shortlist. There is no rush.
