About For Her Wellbeing
ForHerWellbeing.org is a directory of 3,792 therapists and counsellors in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Every one of them lists women's issues among their areas of focus.
Who it is for
It is for anyone who wants to talk something through with a therapist who lists women's issues among the things they work with. That might be a relationship, pressure at work or with money, a health worry, family or caring responsibilities, a big change, or how you feel about yourself. You do not need a label for it, and there is no right age or stage of life to start.
It is also for anyone who wants to look up a therapist they have heard of. You do not need to be sure that therapy is right for you before you read a profile.
Which therapists are listed
The directory currently lists 3,067 therapists in the United States, 638 in the United Kingdom and 87 in Australia. Each one lists women's issues among their focus areas. Most also work with many other concerns, such as stress, low mood, self-esteem, grief, relationships, family and work, and each profile shows all of them.
Listing a focus area is not, by itself, evidence of specialist training. If particular experience matters to you, ask the therapist about it.
Credentials differ by country
Therapists in the United States list a state license and, usually, an NPI number. Therapists and counsellors in the United Kingdom and Australia list membership of a professional body instead, for example the BACP or NCPS in the UK, or ACA, PACFA or AASW in Australia. Each profile shows the details on record so you can check them yourself.
What talk therapy can and cannot do
Talk therapy offers emotional support. It can give you a regular time to talk with someone about what is weighing on you, what has changed, and how it is affecting your mood, your confidence and your days. No therapist can promise a particular outcome.
Online talk therapy is not medical, reproductive or legal care. For questions about your health, pregnancy, contraception or fertility, speak to a doctor or clinic; for legal questions, speak to a lawyer or a legal advice service.
Where the profiles come from
Profiles are based on information supplied by BetterHelp, an online therapy platform. Each profile shows the credentials, focus areas, approaches, experience and languages the therapist lists.
We are independent. We do not employ the therapists and we do not recommend one over another. When you follow a link to BetterHelp from a profile or topic page, we will earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
