A directory built on trust, real community, and the fundamental belief that you don’t need fixing – you just need the right support
The Wellbeing Directory began with a community.
In 2024, after thirty years as a psychotherapist and coach, Helen Ranson founded The Busy Women Club – a free, safe space for honest conversations about the things that affect us all; sleep, anxiety, menopause, burnout, and learning to actually look after ourselves. It grew fast – to more than 17,000 members across the UK and Ireland.
As those conversations deepened, the same two problems kept surfacing. People couldn’t find wellbeing professionals they trusted. And brilliant practitioners couldn’t get seen.
The directory was built to bring both sides together – a trusted space where people find genuine, qualified support, and where practitioners become visible to a community that’s actively looking for them.
