Low-Cost Counselling – Is It For Me?

Hands together, palm up. There is a small yellow flower between the hands.

The Psychosynthesis Trust offers low-cost counselling, where you will be seen by a trainee counsellor within 2-3 weeks. 

How much does it cost? 

Our fee structure is as follows:

  • £15 to £25 for students, low waged or part-time, receipt of benefits 
  • £30-£45 for people who can’t afford private therapy with a qualified counsellor.  

We run sessions on a weekly basis, either online (for UK based clients only) or in-person at The  Psychosynthesis Trust in London Bridge. 

Who are the counsellors? 

Sessions are provided by trainee counsellors, who have joined a placement with us as part of their studies to qualify as a counsellor. They are regularly supervised by an experienced supervisor and committed to adhering to the BACP ethical framework and confidentiality guidelines.  

  Limitations of the low-cost counselling service: 

Our low-cost service is a general service, which doesn’t specialise in issues such as listed below, where there would be a need for more knowledge and expertise. In these instances a more specialist service would be appropriate, and where possible we will signpost you.  

  • clients with a level of risk that is not manageable within this service 
  • clients with current and active addictions, eating disorders or PTSD symptoms (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
  • clients with history or current symptoms of psychosis 
  • clients with bipolar affective disorder/borderline or antisocial personality disorder
  • clients who are currently training in counselling and/or psychotherapy
