For psychologists, not the public
The referral feed and discussion areas are reserved for verified members.
Referrals and discussions together
Coordinate referral shortlisting and professional conversation in the same network.
Anonymised and moderated
Referral content stays anonymised, discussions sit behind moderation and verification.
Why it exists
A clearer alternative to scattered referral chats
PsychReferral gives clinicians a structured way to share referral opportunities, review responses, and keep professional discussion within a verified setting.
Referral sharing built for clinicians
Share anonymised referral summaries with other verified psychologists instead of relying on scattered chat threads.
Professional discussions in one place
Use the member discussion spaces for thoughtful peer exchange, practical questions, and referral-related conversation.
Verified and invite-only
Membership is free, limited to verified UK psychologists, and opened through invitation rather than public sign-up.
Membership
Free, verified, and intentionally limited
The platform is designed for professional use by verified UK psychologists. It is not an open directory or public messaging space.
- Free for verified UK psychologists
- Invite-only registration with manual verification
- Anonymised case-sharing expectations throughout the network
- Member discussions and referral tools behind account access
Join by invitation
New members register with an invitation code from an existing member of the network.
PsychReferral is not an open directory. Invitation-only access helps keep the community professional, relevant, and easier to verify.
Complete verification
Each account is checked before the member can access referrals and discussions.
Verification is designed to ensure that the platform remains limited to verified UK psychologists and that professional standards are upheld.
Share anonymised referrals
Members post anonymised referral summaries so colleagues can review suitability.
Referral posts are for professional triage and shortlisting. Patient-identifiable information should not be posted in the network.
Receive interest and shortlist
Suitable clinicians can respond, after which the referrer can review interest and shortlist the referral.
The platform keeps the process structured so members can move from referral sharing to shortlisting with more clarity than informal group chats.
Use the discussion spaces
Verified members can also take part in moderated professional discussions.
Discussion spaces are for peer conversation, practical questions, and professional exchange within the network, not for public advice.
Important
Professional tool, not a public support service
PsychReferral is intended for clinician-to-clinician coordination and discussion. The public pages should make that boundary explicit.
Suitable use
Learning about the network, registering with an invitation code, and submitting professional enquiries through the contact page.
Not suitable use
Client self-referral, urgent safeguarding escalation, crisis support, or posting patient-identifiable details.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
The public site should answer the basics without exposing member-only material.
Who can use PsychReferral?
PsychReferral is only available to verified psychologists in the UK. Access is invite-only and each account is checked before full membership is granted.
Is PsychReferral free to use?
Yes. PsychReferral is free for verified members. The public pages explain the service, but referral sharing and member discussions sit behind verification.
What sort of referrals can be shared?
Members can share anonymised referral summaries so that colleagues can indicate suitability without exposing patient-identifiable information.
What are the discussion spaces for?
The member discussion areas support professional conversation, shared learning, and practical peer support around referral work and related topics.
Is the site for clients or urgent support?
No. PsychReferral is for clinicians, not for members of the public, and it must not be used for emergencies or urgent crisis support.
