        Fees

        Willows is a charity and therefore we do encourage everyone to contribute towards the cost of their counselling by making a donation between £15 - £45 per session; dependent upon your circumstances. We help you to consider this by sending you information and a form to complete which takes into consideration your employment status, financial situation, whether you are receiving benefits, elderly or a student.   If you have any issues with payment please do discuss this with us.

        We also ask for a non-returnable fee to cover administration costs. £10 if you are in work. £5 if you are unwaged.

        Further information

        Counselling provides a regular time and a safe place to share your concerns in confidence. A place where you can be listened to without judgement; to build your internal resources and grow in self-awareness, self esteem and confidence.

        Our services are offered regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnic or cultural background, to people of any faith of none.
