Tick what you'd like help with, to find therapists who work with it. If you're not sure, leave this blank.

For therapists looking for supervision, training or help with their own practice.
Who the therapist sees. For a child or teenager, tick "Children and young people". For therapy with a partner, your family or a group, tick "Couples", "Families" or "Groups". "Companies" means they work with employers. "Private healthcare referrals" means they see people sent by a health insurer.
Every UKCP therapist can help with a wide range of problems, so you don't need to choose a type unless you have one in mind.
Therapists trained to work with babies, children or teenagers, often through play, drawing and talk, and usually alongside parents or carers.
For couples, families and relationships, including sex and intimacy. Systemic therapists look at the patterns between people rather than at one person alone.

Based on Carl Jung's ideas, exploring dreams, images and symbols as well as talk. Jung called his approach analytical psychology, so every title here is Jungian.
Structured, goal-focused approaches, often shorter-term, aimed at a specific problem and practical change.
Philosophical approaches exploring how you make sense of your life, your choices and what gives it meaning.
Approaches that include spiritual experience and present-moment awareness, sometimes using meditation or imagery.
Works through the body, movement, art or drama as well as words, which can help when feelings are hard to put into speech.
Titles that describe a training rather than one approach. The therapist's profile usually says how they work.
Tick a language to find therapists who speak it. British Sign Language is here too.
"Only show profiles with photos" keeps to therapists with a photo. "Only show wheelchair accessible" keeps to those whose rooms you can reach in a wheelchair. "Search locations outside the UK" looks for the place you type anywhere in the world.
Every UKCP therapist belongs to a college. A college is a group of therapists who share a way of working, or who work with the same people, such as children. Most people can leave this blank. "Type of therapy" says more plainly how someone works.
