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.

I honestly don’t think I could ever fully put into words how grateful I am to have found Hanli. She has been such a huge part of my journey and, at times, a real lifeline for me. She has guided me through some of the hardest moments in my life and has played such an important part in helping me become the person I am today. I will always be grateful that somehow our paths crossed when they did. There is just something so special about Hanli. She has this magical aura around her that makes you feel safe from the moment you are in her presence. She makes you feel seen, truly heard and more than anything, understood. There is a wisdom and calmness about her that I find so grounding and healing. I can go into a session feeling like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders and somehow leave feeling lighter, with a sense that everything is going to be okay. Hanli is also deeply intuitive. She has this natural ability to read my energy almost instantly and seems to sense what I need from a session, sometimes before I even know myself. We might have planned to work through something particular that day, but she knows when to put that aside because what I really need is to talk, clear my head or simply have someone listen. She holds space for me in a way that never feels rushed or pressured. I can just be exactly as I am in that moment and she meets me there. Her compassion is something I have felt from the very beginning. She has so much patience and her care goes far beyond simply listening. I genuinely feel that Hanli cares about me as a person and wants the very best for me and there is something so comforting about knowing that. She has a rare ability to put herself in your shoes and understand how something feels from where you are standing without ever making you feel judged. Knowing that I can turn to her when I really need her and that she will always try to make time for me has meant more to me than she probably will ever know. Something I really admire about Hanli is her strength. She is such a strong and empowering person, but there is also this beautiful warmth and softness to her that makes you feel completely at ease. There is something about being in her presence that makes you feel stronger in yourself too. She has this way of bringing out a confidence in me that I didn’t always know I had, while gently encouraging me to believe in myself and trust who I am. I often leave our sessions feeling more grounded and more certain of myself than when I walked in. Perhaps one of the greatest things Hanli has given me is the ability to see myself differently. She has never tried to hand me all the answers or tell me which path to take. Instead, she gently guides me towards finding those answers for myself. Through working with Hanli, I have learnt to trust myself, understand myself on a much deeper level and recognise a strength within myself that I didn’t always know was there. She has empowered me to trust my own intuition and shown me that so much of what I had been searching for was within me all along. It is a very special thing to find someone you can trust with the most vulnerable parts of yourself. With Hanli, I can talk about absolutely anything. I don’t have to find the right words, pretend I’m okay or have everything figured out before I see her. I can simply turn up exactly as I am and know that she will meet me there with warmth and compassion. When I think about the person I was when I first found Hanli and the person I am today, it actually makes me quite emotional. She has been there for me through moments when I have felt lost, but rather than simply showing me the way, she has taught me how to find my own way again. That is something I don’t think I could ever truly thank her enough for. Hanli has made such a lasting difference to my life and I genuinely don’t know where I would be without her. She is one of those very rare people who leaves an imprint on your life simply by being who she is. I will forever be grateful for her, for everything she has taught me and for the person I have become along the way. For anyone considering working with Hanli, I couldn’t recommend her more wholeheartedly. Finding her has genuinely been one of the greatest gifts I could have given myself.

I started working with Vicky a while ago, but had a bad fear of flying and after working with Vicky I can now say I feel excited about flying rather than the dread and panic I once felt, definitely recommend

Working with Mark has been a transformative experience. His empathetic approach and ability to provide clear, actionable insights helped me navigate a very challenging period in my life. I felt heard and supported from our very first session, and the tools he provided have been invaluable for my ongoing personal growth. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking professional and compassionate guidance.

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.
