Therapies offered
Fees
We value a session at £68; however, through fund raising, Lochaber Hope is able to subsidise this so it would cost you £30. Certain types of counselling, such as child/youth and couples counselling, is more specialised so may be priced differently – please discuss with us.
Cost should never be a barrier to getting counselling so please talk to us if you are on a low income or experiencing financial difficulties.
