Online Counselling That Doesn't Compromise on Care

We know that private counselling isn't always affordable, particularly if you're facing financial pressures or you're looking for longer-term support.

Our low-cost online counselling service makes professional therapy more accessible while maintaining the high standards and values that underpin all of our work at Place to Talk Therapies.

All low cost sessions are delivered online, allowing you to access support from the comfort of your own home, wherever you are in the UK.

Whether you're experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, loss, trauma or simply need space to make sense of life, we're here to help.

Who Will I See?

Low-cost counselling is provided by a counsellor in professional training who is completing the final stages of their qualification.

This counsellor works within the ethical framework of their professional body and receives regular clinical supervision. They are also supported by the wider Place To Talk Therapies team. This support ensures you receive thoughtful, ethical and professional care throughout your counselling journey.

Many clients find that working with a trainee counsellor offers the same warmth, commitment and therapeutic relationship they would expect from any counselling service.

Availability of Low Cost Counselling

Places within our low-cost counselling service are limited and are not always available. We hold a short waiting list where possible, but if the waiting list is full, we may not be able to offer an assessment at that time. Please contact us to check current availability.

Low-cost counselling is normally offered for up to 12 weekly sessions. Where appropriate, an extension may be considered following discussion with your counsellor, taking into account your progress, clinical need and service availability.

How It Works

Starting counselling is straightforward.

1. Initial Assessment

Your journey begins with a 30-minute online assessment with Kay, lead therapist. 

During this session we'll explore:

• what has brought you to counselling
• what you hope to achieve
• whether low-cost counselling is the right service for your needs
• answer any questions you may have

Assessment fee: £25

2. Therapist Matching

Following your assessment, if a place is available and we believe our trainee counsellor is a suitable match for your needs, we will introduce you and they will arrange your first session.

Rather than allocating clients simply because a space is available, we aim to make a considered match based on your presenting concerns and therapeutic goals.

3. Ongoing Counselling

Once matched, your counsellor will contact you to arrange your first appointment.Sessions are:

• 60 minutes
• held online
• usually weekly
• confidential

Session fee: £40
