Why doctors trust us
Our trusted therapy teams work exclusively for Rightsteps, and we never outsource therapists from external agencies. This means that we can confidently ensure all our therapists are:
- Experienced in supporting frontline clinical workers
- Fully qualified, with training ranging from counselling diplomas to MSc and PG Diploma level
- Registered or accredited with the BACP
- Skilled in working with issues such as burnout, trauma exposure, complex stress, low mood and anxiety
Our approach to supporting doctors is both compassion and rigorously evidenced-based, with strong clinical outcomes that exceed national benchmarks. You can hear from our service manager, Katy, and find out more about some of our therapy team below:
“My therapist was calm and comforting during our sessions. She explained all the techniques thoroughly and helped me to adopt a different way of thinking about stress and anxiety.”
“Perfect counsellor for me, supportive, listened, reflected back on past conversations and followed up on outcomes. Very impressed!”
“My counsellor was absolutely lovely and encouraging. Never judgemental.”
“I've had such a massive shift in perspective and I am super appreciative!”
