FAQ

Questions counsellors ask

Is it really free?
Yes. Claiming your listing, keeping it up to date, and receiving enquiries are all free. We never charge a commission on your session fees.
How do you verify my listing?
We match the registration number you provide against your regulatory college's public register. Once it checks out, we email you to confirm ownership — usually within two business days.
My profile already exists. How did that happen?
Some listings are created from public regulatory records so clients can find registered counsellors. Claiming it simply links that profile to your account so only you can edit it.
What if I don't have a listing yet?
No problem. When you create your account you can build a brand-new profile from scratch — the same verification applies.
