What Is Low Cost Counselling
Low cost counselling offers the same core therapeutic support as standard counselling, with sessions delivered by trainee counsellors who are completing professional training.
All trainee counsellors:
• Work within recognised ethical frameworks
• Receive regular supervision from experienced practitioners
• Are trained to provide safe, structured, and supportive sessions
This allows you to access professional support at a more affordable rate, without compromising on care.
