Fees

Choose the counselling pathway that fits your needs and budget.

All of our counselling meets the same ethical, safeguarding and clinical standards. The difference between pathways is not the quality of care, but the level of choice, flexibility and fee support available.

Choice Pathway

£60 per session

Choose your counsellor directly, with greater flexibility around appointment times, approach and availability.

Best if you:
Would like more choice over who you work with, when sessions take place, or the type of counselling support you are looking for.

Standard Pathway

£35 per session

Our main counselling pathway. We match you with a suitable counsellor based on your needs, availability and current counsellor capacity.

Best if you:
Are happy for us to match you with a counsellor and want a lower-fee option within the same professionally supported service

Supported Pathway

£25 per session

A lower-fee counselling pathway for people who would otherwise struggle to access counselling because of cost.

Best if you:
Need additional affordability support and are comfortable with a matched pathway, where availability may vary.

The lower-fee pathways do not mean lower-quality counselling. All pathways are clinically governed, ethically managed and supported through the same safeguarding and professional standards.

Where your fee goes

As a charity, all income from counselling sessions supports both the delivery of professional care and the wider social value of the service

28,000+ appointments each year

Counselling sessions delivered annually, helping to reduce pressure on GP services, the NHS, and other overstretched support systems.

Professional counselling workforce

Around 150 Associate, volunteer and trainee counsellors are supported through training, supervision, and clear clinical governance, strengthening the long-term sustainability of the service.

Wider public benefit
