In the past 12 months alone, Cherry Tree Therapy Centre has delivered 1480 low-cost counselling sessions, both in-person and online. Since launching the service in 2016, we have provided more than 10,000 sessions, supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and life difficulties.
At Cherry Tree, we believe emotional support should be accessible, ethical and well-managed, not only available to those who can afford full private therapy fees. Our low-cost counselling service exists to widen access to therapy while maintaining clear clinical standards and strong professional oversight.
Sessions are delivered by carefully selected counsellors in the final stages of recognised counselling qualifications. Each therapist works under close clinical supervision from experienced, qualified practitioners, within Cherry Tree’s established clinical framework. This ensures that while the service is affordable, the quality of care remains consistent and well-supported.
Our low-cost counsellors are chosen for their maturity, compassion and ability to provide a safe, non-judgemental space. They work with adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem challenges and life transitions.
Whether you are seeking counselling for the first time or returning after previous therapy, this service offers a thoughtful and supportive place to talk and reflect, at a cost designed to be manageable.
Individual sessions are available in-person and online for £30 per session.
Currently, there is no waiting list for individual counselling sessions. We will be in touch within 48 hours and aim to have you matched with a counsellor within 7 days.

Low-cost counselling exists to improve access to emotional support, not to lower standards. We believe that financial circumstances should not be a barrier to receiving ethical, professionally supported counselling.
Our low-cost service is structured, supervised, and clinically overseen in the same way as our full-fee services. The difference is in the fee level, not in the care, boundaries, or professional responsibility involved.
Our low-cost counselling service is available to adults aged 18 and over. Sessions are £30 and offered subject to availability.
While this service supports a wide range of emotional and life difficulties, it may not be suitable for individuals experiencing high levels of risk or crisis. If we feel a different level of support would be more appropriate, we will always discuss this with you and help you consider the next steps.
We also offer a limited number of low-cost sessions for relationship counselling, including couples and all forms of intimate partnerships. Availability depends on counsellor capacity and suitability. Sessions start at £40.
If you would like to explore current availability, please get in touch, and we’ll be happy to talk through your options.
Alongside individual counselling, we offer a number of free, therapist-led support groups. These provide a supportive space for people navigating bereavement, emotional distress, addiction-related difficulties, or betrayal trauma.
Support groups are held separately from individual counselling and may be accessed independently.
In addition to in-person sessions in Buckhurst Hill and Henley-on-Thames, low-cost counselling may also be available online. Online sessions are delivered securely and confidentially, and can be a suitable option if you are not local or prefer to access counselling from home.
Online counselling follows the same clinical standards, boundaries, and supervision arrangements as in-person work.
This service is suitable for adults who would benefit from counselling but may find full-fee therapy difficult to afford. It is open to people from all backgrounds who are seeking emotional support within a structured and supportive setting.
You’ll be matched with a trainee counsellor in the final stages of their accredited training. All of our trainees are carefully selected and work under the regular supervision of an experienced clinical team to ensure safe, ethical, and effective support.
Yes. Low-cost counselling follows the same confidentiality principles as all therapy services at Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, within standard safeguarding and ethical boundaries.
No. While sessions are delivered by trainee counsellors, the service is carefully structured, supervised, and overseen to ensure safe and ethical practice.
