‘Look for the Lighthouse’

Our Low-Cost Counselling Service is available to children, young people and adults who are on a low income. You do not need a GP referral to access this service. Our Low-Cost Counselling service is charged at the flat rate of £20 per session.

Some of our counselling team are newly qualified or they are trainees that are registered with a professional body and are undertaking a recognised counselling qualification. As part of their training, they have all been assessed and have proved capable of practice within a counselling service. With ongoing training and supervision, these trainee counsellors must usually practice 100 hours of counselling to become qualified. It is within these hours that your counselling sessions will take place if you are counselled by a trainee counsellor. Because these counsellors are newly qualified or trainees, we are able to offer this affordable `Low Cost’ Counselling service to people with lower-level mental health problems such as mild to moderate depression or anxiety. Suitability for accessing the service will be assessed by a qualified counsellor via a telephone assessment.
