Putting you first
We have designed our low-fee counselling and psychotherapy service with the needs of our clients in mind.
Concerned about the inaccessible cost of therapy for many people, we have developed our low-fee counselling and psychotherapy service, which offers high-quality therapy at an accessible cost.
Our therapists
Delivered with knowledge and care, we carefully select talented trainee counsellors and psychotherapists in the later stages of their training who appreciate and are experienced in the sensitive and complicated feelings that clients bring. We offer well-appointed in-person therapy rooms in Elephant and Castle, and our online therapy service offers a safe, convenient way of accessing therapy from the comfort of your own home wherever you might be based in the UK.
Our approach
Working with adults over the age of 18, we provide a safe, confidential, professional experience of counselling and psychotherapy, never compromising on the thoughtfulness and care we take of each and every client.
Offering all clients a modern, caring experience of low-fee therapy.

Anxiety can be viewed as a symptom of deeper internal conflicts or tensions that can be addressed in therapy. It can arise when there is a conflict between what we consciously think and feel, and what is buried in our subconscious. This could be due to unresolved conflicts or unexpressed emotions that we may not be aware of.

In therapy, trauma can be seen as a deeply distressing experience that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope and integrate the experience into their psyche. Trauma can lead to a fragmentation of the self, where the individual's conscious and unconscious aspects become disconnected, leading to feelings of disorientation and loss of meaning.
Trauma can take many forms, such as physical or emotional abuse, neglect, or sudden loss of a loved one.

Stress can be seen as a natural response to external pressures and demands that we face in our daily lives. These pressures can come from a variety of external sources such as work, finances and relationships, etc. Stress may also be a response to internal psychological pressures such as early life difficulties, and problems stemming from unaddressed problems from childhood. When these demands feel overwhelming or beyond our capacity to manage, we may experience feelings of anxiety, tension, and even physical symptoms.
In therapy, we view stress as an opportunity for personal growth and transformation. By exploring the underlying causes of our stress, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. This can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life, with greater self-awareness, purpose, and resilience.
During therapy, you and your therapist will work together to understand your stress and ways of alleviating the problems it poses to you. We may also explore how different aspects of our lives are interconnected and impact our well-being. By working through our stress in therapy, we can develop greater self-awareness and build a stronger sense of purpose and meaning in our lives.

Addiction can be viewed as a symptom of a deeper psychological conflict or wound that has not been fully addressed or integrated. This conflict or wound can stem from unresolved issues from childhood, repressed emotions, or a lack of connection to our authentic self.

FAQs
-
All of our therapists are experienced in working with the emotional difficulties human beings experience. Some therapists will have a particular interest, expertise or speciality that matches the issues you might specifically come to therapy for. We will always try to match clients and therapists who we think will work well together. Your assessment is a good time to discuss any thoughts you have in terms of the experiences, skills, knowledge and attributes you’d particularly like in a therapist.
-
Once we match you with your therapist, we will introduce you to each other. Your therapist will then invite you to make the first appointment.
-
Our therapists work on a weekly open-ended basis, and each session lasts for 50 minutes. Many people continue to work with their therapists over a number of years, while for others, shorter term counselling is preferred. Essentially, it is up to you and your therapist to discuss the duration of your therapy, but the decision to continue or end your work is ultimately always yours.
-
If you give your therapist seven full days notice, we will waive the fee for that week. However, therapy works best when it takes place weekly at the same time, consistently. This allows for the difficulties you bring to therapy to be worked through safely, with the time and care that is necessary. If sessions are regularly missed, your therapist will discuss this with you.
-
All sessions are charged at £35. Each week, you will be invoiced for your fee via email, which you should pay on receipt by bank transfer or credit or debit card; payment instructions will appear on your weekly invoice. The only exception to this is if your therapist is on holiday when there is no charge, or on the infrequent occasion you have given seven full days notice.
-
The honest answer to this question is we may not know why, and this is something you can explore in therapy. However, it is very natural to feel nervous when embarking on a new therapy experience. We are here to help you through the process - our assessment is caring and robust, and we very carefully select the most experienced trainee counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists to work with you. You’re in safe hands.
-
In our experience, there are four components that when in place, and repeated each week, will ensure you get the most out of therapy:
Turn up to your sessions each week (even when that might feel difficult).
Be as honest as you can. When we are able to be really honest in therapy, (which is really about being honest with ourselves), things change, but this takes time.
Pay your bill.
Repeat 1-3.
-
Your therapist will listen to your story and to all of the questions you have, and hold them safely with you in mind and heart. Over time, the wisdom you need, your personal wisdom that is unique to you and to your own life will manifest and things will seem clearer.
-
Many clients come to therapy having been diagnosed with a mental health condition, which has often been diagnosed by their GP. Others may have seen therapists previously, or had a diagnosis from a psychiatrist.
The answer to this question is that we will assess each person on an individual basis. It may be more appropriate for some people seeking therapy to see a qualified psychotherapist, a specialist or be seen in a particular service.
If you have an existing diagnosis of a mental health condition, this in no way precludes you from booking an assessment. Please complete the assessment form with as much information and detail as possible, and during your assessment we will discuss your needs further with you. Our service cannot accommodate people experiencing severe mental illness or who are in crisis. If after assessment we are unable to provide you with therapy at this time, we will do our best to assist you to access another more suitable service or practitioner.
