Exploring complementary therapies shouldn't be confusing.

From massage and reflexology to Reiki and acupuncture, there are many complementary therapies available to support wellbeing. Understanding the different approaches and finding a therapist who feels right for you can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Our mission is to help people make informed decisions about their wellbeing by connecting them with trusted complementary therapists and reliable information, making it easier to explore support with confidence.

Helping people find trusted holistic wellbeing practitioners since 2010.


Why we exist

Finding support can feel overwhelming

When you're struggling, knowing where to start isn't always easy.

Searching online often brings up endless options, conflicting information and uncertainty about who to trust. Therapy Directory was created to make that first step simpler.

Our mission is to connect people with trusted wellbeing professionals and provide reliable information to help them make informed decisions about their health.

Since 2010, we've helped thousands of people access support across the UK.


Why people trust us

Support you can trust

Verified professionals

Every profile on Therapy Directory displays our Verified Seal. As part of our approval process, we check each professional has either membership with a recognised professional body or relevant qualifications and insurance, helping to ensure they meet the standards expected within their profession.

This means you can search with greater confidence, knowing we've taken steps to check the credentials of every therapist in our directory.

Independent and people-first

We don't match people through automated algorithms. Instead, professionals create their own profiles, giving you the opportunity to learn about their approach, experience and personality so you can decide who feels like the right fit for you.

High-quality information

Alongside our directory, we provide expert-led wellbeing information designed to help you understand your options and take the next step.

Our story

From one directory to a trusted wellbeing network

Therapy Directory was founded in 2010 alongside Nutritionist Resource, following the success of the platforms Hypnotherapy Directory and Life Coach Directory in 2008, and Counselling Directory in 2005.

As awareness of both mental and physical health has grown, so have we. Today, we're part of the Happiful family – a network of wellbeing platforms dedicated to connecting people with trusted support, information and resources.

While we've grown over the years, our purpose remains the same: helping people access support with confidence.

Our commitment

Putting people first

Everything we do is guided by three principles:

  1. Trust – We verify professionals and maintain clear standards.
  2. Quality – We provide reliable information that people can depend on.
  3. Choice – We empower people to find support that feels right for them.

We know reaching out can be difficult. Our role is to make that journey feel a little easier.
