Do I have to pay for counselling sessions?
All the counsellors and psychotherapists listed on Counselling Directory are private therapists and will usually charge for sessions. You can find out how much each charges by having a look at the ‘Fees’ section on their individual profile page. Fees often depend on the location (e.g. London will usually be more expensive) and the experience of the counsellor/psychotherapist. On average, expect to pay about 35 – 45 per 50 minute session. Some counsellors and psychotherapists may offer initial sessions free or reductions for the unemployed or those on a low income, so it’s always worth asking. If you go to your GP, school or a charitable organisation, some sessions are often free of charge, but you will need to check this with them directly.
