Yes. Screenings, the pathway builder and browsing specialists are free and need no account. You only pay the specialist you choose, at their own rate.

How fast can I actually be seen?

That depends on the specialist, but private appointments are typically arranged within days to a few weeks rather than the months or years quoted on many NHS pathways.

How do you check specialists?

Before a profile is published we require their UK registration body and number, a current insurance declaration with certificate, and safeguarding and supervision confirmation. Our standards page sets out exactly what we check and what we do not.

Do you sell my data to clinics?

No. Screening answers are processed in-session and never stored, and we do not sell personal data. Enquiries go only to the specialist or team you choose to contact.

Step by step

From scroll to specialist

1
Say what is on your mind
One question, plain language. Sleep, focus, anxiety, pain, energy, hormones: whatever you would type into a search bar.
2
Get a pathway, not a list
Under three minutes and you have a sequence: what to screen for, which discipline treats it, what it typically costs and what good looks like.
3
Look at real specialists
Every profile shows credentials, registration body, what they treat and their fees. Where a specialist has not published a fee it shows as £POA rather than a guess.
4
Contact them directly
You message or book with the specialist yourself. Nothing sits between you and them, and no fee is added to what they charge.
