Help Counselling's aim is to provide high-quality, affordable therapy to anyone living in the Greater London area. We want to make your contribution manageable and counselling affordable. We care about what we do and pride ourselves on offering a personalised service.
We typically support people who are experiencing a range of wellbeing and mental health concerns, including anxiety, stress or depression. We offer one-to-one weekly therapy, BOTH ONLINE AND FACE-TO-FACE, IN A RANGE OF LONDON LOCATIONS, including Little Venice (W2), Wimpole Street (W1), Islington (N1), Snow Hill (EC1), Fulham (SW6) and Putney (SW15).
Counselling sessions take place weekly at the same time each week, and are 50 minutes long. Sessions are offered from 09:00 to 21:00 Monday to Friday.
Your first appointment will be an initial assessment, which can be booked directly via our website. This will provide us with an overview of your situation and determine whether Help is an appropriate service for you. It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about therapy and state any preferences you may have.
If counselling at Help is suitable for you, you will be allocated to a counsellor as quickly as possible, usually within 2-3 working days. Your counsellor will then make contact directly to arrange a date and time for your first session.
Counselling at Help is offered on an open-ended basis, which means you can work through difficulties at your own pace. Most clients stay in counselling for a few months, and some stay longer, with many engaging in therapy for several years. The counselling we offer is primarily integrative, but we also have counsellors whose approach is psychodynamic and humanistic.

Please note that Help is only able to provide counselling to individuals aged 18 and over. We may be unable to work with you if you have an active addiction that may interfere with your ability to engage in the work of counselling, or if you have a psychiatric condition that hasn't been stabilised with medication.
Training, qualifications & experience
Most of our counsellors are in the final stages of a 5-year training in psychotherapy, and are supervised according to BACP/UKCP/NCPS guidelines.
Our assessors, supervisors and allocation team are all qualified counsellors or psychotherapists, who are registered with or accredited by one of the above professional bodies.
We are a BACP-registered UK charity.
Member organisations *
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
