Talk through what you need
We'll ask a few questions about what brings you to therapy and whether Choose Therapy is suitable for what you're looking for.
Choose your counsellor
Afterwards, you can explore suitable counsellors and choose who you would like to work with.
To make sure we're the right kind of support.
Choose Therapy can support people through a wide range of emotional and life difficulties, but sometimes someone may need a different or more specialist mental health service.
Your assessment helps us understand what you're looking for before regular counselling begins.
Warm, clear and without pressure.
- ✓ A short video conversation with one of our initial assessors.
- ✓ Space to explain what you're hoping to get from counselling.
- ✓ A chance to ask questions before beginning weekly sessions.
- ✓ Clear next steps once your assessment is complete.
Can I pick my own counsellor?
Yes. We believe the relationship you have with your counsellor is an important part of therapy. After your assessment, you can choose from suitable counsellors and select the person who feels right for you.

A few common questions.
How much does the initial assessment cost?
The initial assessment costs £20 and lasts 25 minutes.
How much are weekly counselling sessions?
Weekly online counselling sessions are £42 for 50 minutes.
Can I choose my own counsellor?
Yes. After your assessment, you can choose from the availability of counsellors who are appropriate for your needs.
What if my first counsellor doesn't feel like the right fit?
If you would prefer to work with someone else after your first session, our team can help you move to another counsellor.
Why do we do initial assessments?
It’s important for us to ensure that we are the right kind of service to support your particular needs. We offer counselling services which will suit a wide range of clients, but sometimes those clients with more complex needs might be better supported by a different mental health service, such as a psychiatrist. If it turns out we’re not the right service for you right now, we’ll provide you information to help you find more appropriate support.
Can I pick my own counsellor?
Yes! We think it’s important that you select the counsellor that you feel is the right fit for you (and who is available at a time that works for you). After the initial assessment, we’ll offer you the full availability of all appropriate counsellors. You can then select who you’d like to book with. If after your first session you’d like to work with a different counsellor, we can help you switch.
