If you’re looking for professional help to work through emotional challenges, life transitions or mental health concerns, Bark can connect you with qualified counsellors UK wide. Tell us what support you need and your location, and we’ll match you with qualified mental health counselling services so you can review profiles, read feedback and compare counselling quotes before making your choice.
Counselling practitioners provide compassionate, confidential support that can help with a wide range of personal and emotional issues. Common offerings include:
Counsellors use evidence-based approaches that aim to improve your understanding of feelings and help you develop healthier ways of coping.
You might want to hire a counsellor if you are:
Reaching out for support early can help you feel more in control and better able to manage day-to-day life.
When looking at counsellors in the UK, consider the counsellor’s approach, experience with your particular concerns and how you feel during an initial conversation. It can also help to check whether they work online or in person, what qualifications they hold and what a typical session involves.
With Bark you can request multiple counselling quotes and compare services to find someone who feels right for you.
According to data collected by Bark, counselling sessions in the UK typically range from around £40 to £60 per session, depending on the practitioner’s experience, location and area of specialism. Some specialists may charge more. Requesting counselling quotes UK professionals provide will help you compare current pricing.
Counselling can help with stress, anxiety, sadness, low mood, life transitions, relationship difficulties and confidence concerns. The focus of therapy can be tailored to your personal circumstances and needs.
Yes. Many counsellors offer support remotely via video call, phone or online sessions to make therapy more accessible and convenient.
At my practice, I offer lots of different types of counselling services – from individual sessions to group therapy. It all depends on what each client needs and what they’ll benefit from. Because a lot of my clients lead busy lives, I also offer online and telephone counselling if that suits their schedule better. Although I always suggest coming in for a face-to-face session now and then, as these are often very helpful.
To be a certified counsellor, you need to have a Level 4 qualification in counselling. This can be as a diploma, or at a degree or postgraduate level. I chose to go down the university route by undertaking a BSc Hons in Psychology & Counselling. This meant that I got a degree and was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am now a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience and have completed a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules.
Most of my clients have certain goals in mind when it comes to their therapy. Often they want to resolve issues which are causing difficulties in their lives. This may be problems in their personal relationships that they want help working through. It could be with their partner, family, friends, or work colleagues. Or they may want to develop coping mechanisms to help deal with their own mental health. But often these can interlink. For example, if a client is wanting help with their personal relationships, this often has a positive knock-on effect on their own mental health.

When I started working with Andy I was going through difficult time. I was struggling with burnout, anxiety and negative thoughts. A few months later I was feeling more positive and more resilient. I was more aware of what I want and what I enjoy, not letting time slip away any more. I had a lot more drive to deal with the challenges I face. I was sleeping better, feeling far less anxious and more in control of my life. I highly recommend working with Andy.

My experience working with Paula has been exceptional. I sought her support during an extremely difficult period marked by severe anxiety, depression, and emotional exhaustion. Even in just a few sessions, Paula provided clarity, calm, and practical tools that made a meaningful difference in my ability to cope and move forward. Paula’s approach is thoughtful, intentional, and grounded in measurable resilience training. She helped me understand my patterns, interrupt spirals, and create moments of steadiness during overwhelming times. Her guidance stayed with me long after our sessions ended, and the techniques she taught continue to support me through ongoing challenges. What sets Paula apart is her professionalism combined with genuine compassion. She listens deeply, understands quickly, and creates a safe, non-judgmental space where it becomes possible to speak honestly and begin to heal. I am sincerely grateful for her support and highly recommend Paula to anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. Her expertise and kindness made a profound difference during a time when I needed it most.

I've been to Dominic for three separate courses of hypnotherapy and have always come away feeling more positive. I've struggled with negative self-talk for years, and I really feel the sessions have helped change my internal monologue for the better. Dominic is kind, professional and easy to talk to. He tailors the sessions to what you need, and I'd happily recommend him to anyone considering hypnotherapy.

How much does Counselling cost?
Your expert counsellor will be able to advise you on the full range of services available and will be able to advise on what is most suitable. Use Bark to get free quotes and schedule an appointment today.
What should I expect from my Counselling session?
At your appointment, you will be encouraged to talk about your feelings and emotions with a trained counsellor who will listen and support you without judging or criticising.
The therapist can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes and find your own solutions to problems. However, they will not usually give advice or tell you what to do. The counsellor might sum up what they understand you have been saying so that they can help you to form a plan of action.
Counselling can take place in a number of ways. These include:
Face to face session
Group session
Phone session
Email session
Online through live chat services or video conferencing software
You may be offered a single session of counselling, a short course of sessions over a few weeks or months or a longer course that lasts for several months or years.
It can take a number of sessions before you start to see progress but you should gradually start to feel better with the help and support of your counsellor.
You can be confident that any of the Bark local counsellors listed will give you a reliable and efficient service to help you feel better.
What should I look for when booking a Counselling session?
You could look for counsellors that are accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) which means that they have met the PSA’s required professional standards to practise.
Before you choose a counsellor, you could read testimonials and read details of the issues they can help with on their website.
You could also look at their profile page on Bark and check out reviews from past customers too.
What issues can a Counsellor help with?
Counselling can help with many issues. These include the following:
Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety or eating disorders.
Physical health conditions such as infertility.
Difficult life events such as a bereavement, a relationship breakdown or work-related stress.
Dealing with difficult emotions such as low self-esteem or anger.
Sexual identity issues.
Divorce.
Redundancy and work issues.
Phobias and fears.
Can I get a Counselling Service online?
Absolutely! Many counsellors provide their services remotely via an online video call or the telephone. Not only is it more convenient, but it's also the preferable option for many people who would feel more comfortable holding the session from the comfort of their own home.
