At Counselling Matters we strive to ensure that no one is denied access to counselling on the basis of cost, therefore our rates are negotiable, depending on individual circumstances. We will not ask for details of your financial position, but will take it on trust that you will pay what you can reasonably afford

Our normal session fee is £40, £50 for couples, with discounts available to the unwaged and those in financial hardship. Should you decide not to continue beyond the first session, no charge would be made. This gives you an opportunity to explore what counselling may offer you, without any financial commitment. Special rates are available to counselling students attending counselling as part of their diploma. Please note that the full fee is payable for missed / cancelled appointments unless two days notice is given.

It's impossible to say how long counselling will take as it varies from individual to individual. However, uncomplicated grief, anxiety and depression usually requires 4 - 16 weeks of counselling. Chronic problems may require much longer.

Experience has shown that most clients prefer to pay for each session at the time they have it, but other payment schemes would be considered according to need. We are able to accept credit card payments (via PayPal) and to raise invoices where a third-party is paying. Discounts are available for pre-paid counselling.
