Choose what works best for you. We’ll make sure the therapist you’re matched with fits your preferences, budget and routine.
A smarter way to find the right therapist
Most therapy sites hand you a long directory and let you guess who’s best.
Aligned works smarter.
You’ll chat with our AI Matchbot. It captures your goals, questions, budget, and preferences, then instantly recommends three therapists who fit. Every therapist is fully vetted, accredited, and experienced, with options for online or in-person sessions.
And if at any point you’d prefer to speak with an expert human matching specialist, you can book a free 15 minute consultation!

FAQs
Is this free therapy?
No, but the matching service is completely free, and many of our therapists offer concession rates. Payments are handled directly with therapists.
What if I’m not sure what kind of therapy I need?
You don’t need to know. Just tell us what you’re struggling with, what kind of support you’re hoping for, and any preferences you have. Our matching process is designed to figure out the rest.
Do you offer in-person sessions in Oxford?
Yes. We have therapists offering both in-person and online therapy in Oxford and nearby.
Is everything I say private?
Yes. All information you share with us and with your therapist is confidential and handled securely. Therapists follow strict professional and ethical codes, and Aligned will never share your information without your permission.
What if the therapist isn’t right for me?
No problem — just let us know and we’ll rematch you.
What types of therapy do you offer?
Most of them! We work with therapists trained in a wide range of modalities, including CBT, integrative, psychodynamic and more. You don’t need to know the difference (though our Matchbot can explain it to you, if you ask) - just tell us what matters to you.
How much does therapy usually cost in Oxford?
Prices vary depending on the therapist’s years of experience and the therapy format (online or in-person). Most sessions range between £50 and £100, and we’ll match you within your budget. Note too that many therapists offer concession rates.
How quickly will I get a match?
Within 30 seconds if using the Matchbot, and within 1-2 days if speaking with a Clinical Matching Specialist.
