You don’t have to have everything worked out before you get in touch.
We’ll talk things through with you and help you take the next step forward.
No pressure to commit, just a clearer sense of what might help.
Affordable support, without compromising on care
Worried about the cost of counselling, or unsure if you can afford to start? You’re not alone, and it doesn’t have to be a barrier to getting support.
At Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, our low-cost counselling service offers a way to access therapy that feels manageable financially, while still being well held and professionally supported.
Not sure if low-cost counselling is right for you, or whether it will feel different from standard therapy? We can talk things through with you and help you decide what feels like the best place to start.
Our low-cost sessions are delivered by carefully selected trainee counsellors, psychotherapists, and counselling psychologists who are in the final stages of recognised professional training. They bring fresh learning, commitment, and care to their work, and are supported through regular clinical supervision within the centre.
You don’t need to prove that you’re struggling “enough” to access support; if things feel hard, that’s reason enough to begin.
Getting started is straightforward, and we’ll guide you through each step.
When you get in touch about low-cost counselling, we’ll ask you to complete a short, secure form so we can understand what’s going on for you, your availability, and how you’d prefer to work (in person, online, or by phone).
We’ll then arrange a call to talk things through and match you with a placement therapist who feels like a good fit.
Once matched, your therapist will contact you to arrange your first session. Sessions are usually weekly and shaped around what you’d like to work on.
There’s no fixed number of sessions. You can continue for as long as it feels helpful, and when the time comes to end, you’ll have space to reflect on what’s changed and how to carry that forward.
It's for adults aged 18+ who would benefit from counselling but need a more affordable option. We also offer a limited number of low-cost relationship counselling sessions for couples and partners.
Individual sessions are £30 and relationship sessions are £40. All sessions are payable in advance using your personal payment link.
We have a strict 24-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice or do not attend, the full session fee will still be charged.
You’ll first be asked to complete an online client information form. After that, a member of our clinical team will arrange a short assessment call to help match you with a suitable therapist.
Our team includes trainee counsellors and trainee counselling psychologists who are in the final stages of their accredited training. They are fully insured, professionally supervised, and members of organisations such as the BACP.
Yes. Everything you share is treated as confidential, in line with professional ethics and safeguarding guidelines. Your therapist may discuss your case (without identifying details) in supervision to support your care.
Sometimes. This service is in high demand, but we can add you to our waiting list if no spaces are available when you enquire.
