Our Specialists

At The Therapy Collective, we connect people with qualified specialists who can support you.

Our directory includes various professionals who specialise in children's health and development, as well as some providers offering services exclusively for adults. We are made up of a wide range of providers offering services for the whole life span. Some professions are explained below but this list does not cover all the offerings inside the collective.

Psychologists

A Psychologist is a mental health professional who specialises in understanding human behaviour and mental processes. They provide services including psychological assessment, various forms of psychotherapy (such as CBT and psychodynamic therapy), behavioural management techniques, neuropsychological testing, and counselling for educational or career concerns. Psychologists typically hold advanced degrees (master's or doctorate) and work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to address the emotional, cognitive, and behavioural aspects of a person's wellbeing through evidence-based approaches.

Child psychologists can help with emotional regulation, behavioural challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and developmental assessments. They provide support for children experiencing life transitions, social difficulties, and can assist with diagnoses such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and learning differences.

Occupational Therapist (OT)

An OT is a healthcare professional who helps people of all ages participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). OTs work with individuals who have physical, sensory, cognitive, or developmental conditions that impact their ability to engage in meaningful activities. They assess each person holistically, considering their physical, emotional, and environmental needs to develop personalised intervention plans.

OTs may specialise in a specific condition or population. They may work in homes, in the community, in schools or in any other location. When working with children they typically collaborate closely with parents, providing strategies for home routines, sensory needs, and behavioural support. OTs also work with schools to implement accommodations, modify learning environments, and train staff on inclusive practices.

OTs may help children develop fine motor skills for school, assist adults in recovering from injuries to return to work, modify environments for those with disabilities, or help elderly individuals maintain independence in daily activities. Through a combination of adaptive approaches, environmental modifications, and therapeutic activities, occupational therapists enable people to live fuller, more satisfying lives despite challenges or limitations.

Nutritionists

Paediatric nutritionists address feeding challenges, food allergies and intolerances, picky eating, weight management, and nutritional deficiencies. They provide guidance for children with specific health conditions requiring dietary management and support families in establishing healthy eating habits.

Coaches & Learning Support Specialists

Developmental & Educational coaches can assist with specific difficulties like dyslexia, dyscalculia and study skills. They could also support individual nuanced approaches for access to the curriculum, confidence building, social skills and teacher training. They may help with organisation skills, time management, self-awareness/insight to their own study strategies and confidence building. They help children and teenagers navigate academic challenges, set goals, and develop strategies for success in various aspects of life.

Speech and Language Therapists

Speech and language therapists work with children & adults experiencing articulation difficulties, language delays, stuttering, social communication challenges and auditory processing issues. This may be post injury, due to stroke or dementia, or from a developmental difficulty. They also support children with reading and writing difficulties, voice disorders, and those who use alternative communication methods.

Adult Coaching

An Adult Coach is a professional who partners with clients to help them achieve personal and professional goals. Coaches support adults in various areas including career development, work-life balance, time management, personal organisation, leadership skills, stress management, life transitions, and confidence building. Unlike therapists who may focus on healing past trauma or addressing mental health conditions, coaches typically work with clients in the present moment, helping them create actionable plans for moving forward.

Coaches use questioning techniques, accountability structures, and goal-setting frameworks to help clients identify obstacles, develop strategies, and make meaningful progress towards their desired outcomes. Adult coaching can be particularly valuable for individuals with neurodevelopmental differences such as ADHD or autism, as coaches can provide tailored strategies for executive functioning, sensory management, and social navigation in workplace or community settings.

The Therapy Collective serves as a directory to help you find the right professional for you or your child's specific needs. We do not provide therapy services directly but connect you with qualified practitioners throughout Germany and beyond who may be a helpful resource.
