Therapy can be hard.
Finding the right therapist shouldn't be.
The problem
Directories show you hundreds of profiles that all sound the same. You pick someone based on a photo and a paragraph, book a session, and hope for the best. If it does not work, you start again.
NHS waiting lists are long, and if you do get seen, you rarely get to choose your therapist.
The research is clear: the single biggest predictor of whether therapy works is the relationship between you and your therapist. Not the technique, not the number of sessions, not the therapist's CV. And the current system does almost nothing to get that right.
What Aligned does differently
We match you with the right therapist based on a detailed understanding of what you need. Not just availability and location, but therapeutic style, personality fit, experience with your situation, and practical constraints. One carefully chosen recommendation with a clear explanation of why.
Rematching is always free, with no limit. The matching service is completely free for clients.
Every therapist is vetted
Before any therapist joins our network, we check the following:
- Registered with a recognised UK professional body (BACP, UKCP, BABCP, or equivalent)
- Fully qualified — we do not work with trainees
- Carries professional indemnity insurance
- Receives ongoing clinical supervision
- Bound by a professional code of ethics
We verify this manually before any therapist joins our network.
