Email meAbout me
I believe that everyone who needs to see a counsellor should be able to do so. Cost should not be the reason that you are not able to access support.
Day Time Sessions (7am- 5pm) £25
Evening Sessions (5pm-8pm) £30
Beginning therapy or counselling starts with two important decisions; ‘should I seek support from a counsellor?’ You’ve already made this difficult decision which is why you’re looking at this page.
The second decision is ‘which therapist is right for me?’ This decision can be somewhat harder but my reduced session rate gives you an opportunity to see if I am the counsellor for you.
After working in both prisons and education for the past 16 years, I have experience of working with both adults and young people with a range of emotional and learning difficulties. I understand that life can be both challenging and frustrating, and that you may feel overwhelmed by your feelings. I understand that you may be very clear about the changes that you want to make in your life, or that you might have had experience that you’re finding difficult to cope with.
Some people have a very clear idea of why they feel the need to see a therapist or start counselling. Others are confused by their feelings and may feel out of control or alone. For some, therapy is an opportunity to better understand the choices they make and patterns they repeat. Whatever your reasons, be assured you will be treated with respect, confidentiality and given the space to be yourself.
Low Cost Counselling now offers both face-to-face and telephone sessions.
