Mental Health Support
All individual practitioners listed here are able to work with common mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. Many have a sliding scale of fees.
All individual practitioners are LGBT+ friendly, including supporting folks with diverse relationship styles. Some have received specialist training in this area, and some have lived experience too - please ask them specifically if this is important to you.
Any specialisms are also listed, but please do refer to each practitioner’s website for up-to-date information.
Directories for support with LGBT+ matters, low-cost/free therapy, Black/POC friendly services, complex trauma, and neurodivergent friendly services are listed at the bottom of this page.
