Trainee therapists offering reduced-fee counselling sessions
At the Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, we believe that quality mental health support should be accessible to everyone. Our low-cost counselling service is delivered by trainee counsellors, psychotherapists, and counselling psychologists who are currently completing recognised qualifications in counselling, psychotherapy, or counselling psychology.
While they are still in training, all our placement therapists have completed substantial study and are ready to work with clients under close professional supervision. This service offers an affordable way to access therapy if you're on a limited budget, without compromising on care.
When you enquire about low-cost counselling at the Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, the first step is to complete a secure online client information form. This helps us understand what’s bringing you to therapy, your availability, and whether you'd prefer face-to-face, online, or phone sessions.
Once we’ve received your form, a member of our clinical team will follow up with an assessment call. This allows us to explore your needs in more depth and ensure we match you with the most suitable placement therapist, whether that’s a trainee counsellor or a trainee counselling psychologist.
After the assessment, your therapist will get in touch to book your first session. From there, you'll meet weekly at an agreed time, and your sessions will be guided by your goals and what you want to work through.
There’s no limit on the number of sessions you can attend. We understand that meaningful change takes time. When the time feels right to end, you’ll have a final session to reflect on your progress and talk through ways to maintain the changes you’ve made.
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 cost £25. Each session must be paid for 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.
