Are there sites/platforms for searching for an English speaking therapist? Something like Talkiatry but for EU preferably?

The reason I'm not looking for a psychiatrist locally is because where I'm living the level of specialists is terrible to put it lightly. Most of them don't even know what ADHD or atomoxetine is, or they claim that ADHD is some children issue and doesn't affect adults. And I know it through very painful experience visiting them.

Thank you in advance!

I've had good luck with Talkspace. Unfortunately (for a plethora of reasons) I'm in the US so I can't speak to its availability in the EU, but my personal experience has been great as I'm able to seek therapists/psychologists for talk therapy, and also psychiatric care for meds as needed.

EDIT to add: The main reason I prefer Talkspace to other platforms is because they take insurance. Again, primarily a US problem, but noting for others who may see this.
