Low Cost Counselling

We believe that counselling should be available to everyone who needs it, regardless of their income. We also recognise that accessing mental health support through the NHS can sometimes be challenging. Waiting times can be long, and the type and duration of support available can vary considerably.

At TherapEast, we offer 12 sessions of low-cost counselling for key workers, students aged 18+, and people receiving benefits or on a low income.

​

Sessions are £18 per session and take place weekly at our therapy centre in Barkingside, at the same time each week. We don't ask you to provide proof of your financial circumstances — we trust you to know whether this service is appropriate for you.

​

The Counselling team

Our low-cost counselling is provided by trainee therapists, who are usually in the final year of their counselling diploma, or studying for a degree or Master's in counselling or psychotherapy.

Although they are still in training, all of our trainee therapists receive regular clinical supervision and are supported throughout their placement by experienced, qualified therapists.

​

You can have a look at our "Meet the Team" page to find out more about the trainee therapists currently working at TherapEast.

Getting started

There is often little or no waiting time to get started. Before beginning counselling, you'll have a telephone assessment with one of our qualified counsellors. This gives us an opportunity to understand what you're looking for and make sure that low-cost counselling with a trainee therapist is the right service for you.
