We understand that counselling is a significant financial commitment each week, so we operate a sliding fee scale to try and ensure counselling is accessible to as many people within our local community as possible.
As a Community Interest Company our mission is to provide affordable counselling, particularly to those on lower incomes, so we trust our clients to be honest with us regarding their income levels. Those clients who are on benefits will be asked to provide evidence of this at assessment.
We do not wish anyone to suffer financial hardship as a result of coming for counselling so if you feel you make struggle to meet the fee specified please talk to your assessor or counsellor about this.

How can I pay?
Cancellation fees – are regrettable but necessary.
Please let us know as soon as you can if you are unable to attend preferably by a phone call.
We cannot use the room or allocate your counsellor to someone else when you don’t attend so we have to charge a cancellation fee.
Cancellation fees
If you cancel with a week or more’s notice you will not be charged.
If you cancel with less than a week’s notice but more than 24hrs – the cancellation fee is £10.
If you cancel with 24 hours notice or less – you will be expected to pay the full amount that you normally pay.
If you miss two counselling sessions without contacting us to let us know we will write to you and end your counselling contract with us.
Our fees are reviewed in January of each year.
