Committed To Confidential, Compassionate Care

Hello, I'm Emily Bellaby (Chosen name Hari Bellaby; They/Them), founder of The Nottingham Counselling & Psychotherapy Hub.

Throughout my work as a counsellor, I saw how many people struggled with one simple question:

"How do I find the right therapist?"

With so many websites, directories and individual practitioners available, the process can feel confusing and overwhelming, particularly when you're already finding life difficult.

I created the Hub to change that.

Rather than being another counselling practice, the Hub is a trusted network of independent therapists who share a commitment to providing safe, compassionate and professional support. It brings experienced practitioners together in one place, making it easier for people to explore their options and connect with someone who feels right for them.

Alongside supporting clients, I also wanted to create a community where therapists could become more visible, develop professional relationships and work together to improve access to high-quality mental health support across Nottingham and the surrounding area.

As a counsellor myself, I understand how important the relationship between therapist and client can be. That's why every therapist within the Hub is encouraged to provide a detailed profile that allows you to understand their experience, therapeutic approach and areas of expertise before making contact.

My hope is that the Hub becomes more than just a directory. I want it to become a trusted starting point for anyone looking for counselling, professional support or reliable mental health information.

Whether you're looking for a therapist, considering counselling for the first time or you're a practitioner interested in joining our growing network, you're very welcome here.
