Specialist recovery matching

Find the right support for addiction and addictive behaviours.

Answer a few questions about what you're struggling with. We'll match you with two or three specialist therapists who work with exactly that — in hours, not weeks.

Private and confidential — find the right therapist for you without browsing through hundreds

How it works

Three quiet steps to the right person.

01

Tell us what's happening

A short, structured intake — what you're struggling with, the impact, your goal, and what you're looking for in a therapist.

02

We match you

You get two or three specialists whose focus matches your behaviour, and preferences. Not a directory to sift through.

03

Request a session

Read their profile, choose the one that's right for you and book a session through Unspool. Your intake summary will be sent to the therapist, before the first session.

Our network

Therapists who specialise, not generalise.

Addiction and addictive behaviours aren't a side interest for the therapists on Unspool — they're the core of their clinical work. Each one has years of focused experience with the specific patterns of craving, shame, relapse and recovery, and has been vetted by our team before joining the network.

That means you don't have to explain what addiction feels like from the inside, or worry about being met with a generalist framework that doesn't quite fit. You're matched with someone who already speaks the language of the thing you're trying to change — so the first session can start where it needs to.

Built for recovery

Not a therapy marketplace. A guided route to specialist care.

Most directories give you hundreds of therapists and hope you pick the right one. That's exhausting when you're already struggling — and it's a big reason people don't follow through.

Unspool only works with therapists whose primary work is addiction and addictive behaviours. We show you two or three matches, not two hundred. And your first conversation starts with them already knowing why you're there.

  • ✓ Every therapist vetted and specialist-verified
  • ✓ Non-judgmental, trauma-informed care
  • ✓ Online
  • ✓ Confidential — you control what's shared
