Become a specialist in the growing niche of student therapy.
Now is the perfect time to join the Pairwel directory.
Demand for student therapy is at record highs, existing services are overstretched, and students are more open than ever to seeking help. This creates a unique window to join a student therapy platform.
Why join Pairwel
Become discoverable locally and nationally
With location based-filtering, students can find therapists near their university, creating localised pools of demand and supply. By joining Pairwel and establishing a strong presence on our directory, you can perfectly position yourself to capture this demand, and become a reputable therapist for your local university.
Universities are a concentrated hub of demand with a new intake of students each year. This environment is perfect for therapists who are looking to expand their caseload and secure a reliable stream of clients. Even if you aren’t near a university, our “Search All Therapists” page ensures you remain visible regardless of your location and whether you offer in-person or online therapy.
Gain access to a growing client market
There is a strong upward trend in student mental health problems.
Between the 2016/17 and 2022/23 academic years, the share of undergraduate students at universities across the UK who said they had experienced mental health difficulties rose from 6% to 16%. This represents an almost tripling in mental health problems.
University and NHS facilities are overstretched due to the sharp increase in demand and both are facing long waiting times and issues with capacity. This is the perfect signal for you to join Pairwel and market yourself towards students. By doing so, you help improve student mental health, alleviate pressure on existing therapy services, and position yourself to become a leader in student therapy.
Join now and build your reputation early
Although reviews and the number of sessions held are not logged on our platform at the moment, the therapists that have built a client base through Pairwel will be at a significant advantage once these features drop.
Joining Pairwel early gives you a unique opportunity to establish a reputation before the platform expands. As Pairwel grows, and more students begin using the site, therapists with a good reputation and established clients will naturally stand out, resulting in a snowball effect in positive reviews and client demand.
