Counselling Directory sponsors The Romesh Ranganathan Show

Counselling Directory is proud to announce its sponsorship of four episodes of The Romesh Ranganathan Show, running from 14 to 24 September 2026.

The partnership brings together Counselling Directory and Romesh Ranganathan, who has spoken openly about his mental health and experiences of therapy. Romesh’s candid, conversational approach to mental health, and his ability to discuss serious issues with humour, make the show and its audience a strong fit for the brand.

Beginning the search for a therapist can feel daunting, particularly for someone seeking support for the first time. Counselling Directory aims to make that process more manageable by enabling people to browse profiles of verified professionals, learn about the therapist's experience and ways of working, and make their own informed choice.

Established in 2005, Counselling Directory connects people with over 29,000 UK-based professionals, counsellors and psychotherapists offering in-person, online and telephone support.

Amy-Jean Burns, CEO of Happiful, comments:

“This partnership felt like a very natural fit for us. Romesh has always spoken about mental health and therapy with honesty, warmth and humour, and that’s exactly the kind of conversation we want Counselling Directory to be part of.

“Finding a therapist can feel daunting and incredibly personal. We didn’t want to give Romesh a tightly scripted advert that suddenly felt separate from the rest of the show. The thinking behind the campaign was to let him communicate the message in his own voice: that Counselling Directory gives people the time and information to browse different therapists, understand how they work and choose someone who feels right for them.

“We’ve listened to the podcast for years, the founders of Happiful are huge fans too, and we’re all big Shanthi fans, so there was a lot of genuine excitement about this one internally. It’s our first foray into comedy, and hopefully it won’t be our last – although perhaps we should see whether we make it through all four episodes without becoming the punchline first.”

Audiences can hear the Counselling Directory campaign across four episodes of The Romesh Ranganathan Show between 14 and 24 September 2026.

It is available on YouTube and all major streaming platforms.
