Affordable counselling and psychotherapy

You will pay for your initial assessment when you book it. If you then decide to continue with therapy, you will also pay for your first therapy session when you book it. After that, payment will be taken from your credit or debit card at the end of each session. When you book your first therapy session, we will ask you to securely save your card details in our online therapy system.

We understand that plans can sometimes change. If you need to cancel a session, please let us know at least 48 hours in advance. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice will still be charged at the full session fee. When you begin therapy, your therapist will talk you through the counselling agreement and answer any questions you may have.

Your regular session day and time cannot be changed on an ad hoc basis. If your availability changes permanently, it may be possible to arrange a new regular day or time, subject to your therapist’s availability. Please give us at least 48 hours notice of any requested change.

Some health insurance providers, including Bupa, AXA and Aviva, may cover online therapy, depending on your policy and the therapist’s qualifications or professional registration. We recommend checking directly with your insurer before booking, as their requirements can vary.

Many of our clients choose to pay for their sessions themselves. With sessions starting from £42, paying as you go can offer greater flexibility and privacy, without the need for pre-authorisation or restrictions on the number of sessions you can attend. We keep our pricing clear and transparent, so you know exactly what to expect and can focus on getting the support you need.

If cost is an important consideration and you feel comfortable waiting for support, NHS-funded therapy may be the right option for you. In many areas, you can refer yourself to NHS Talking Therapies through the NHS website.

If you would prefer to begin therapy sooner, choose the therapist you work with, or access a particular therapeutic approach that may not be readily available locally, private therapy with Choose Therapy could be a good fit. We offer a personal and flexible service, with clear, upfront pricing and no hidden costs.

Please note that Choose Therapy is not an emergency or crisis service. If you need urgent help, please contact NHS 111, call 999 in an emergency, or go to your nearest A&E.

If you choose one of our affordable therapists, your sessions will remain at the fixed price of £42 per weekly session, so you will always know exactly what to expect.

No, there is no additional cost to change therapists. We understand that finding the right therapist is an important part of feeling comfortable and supported, and our team will be here to help you through the process.

No, there is no subscription or ongoing membership fee. You simply pay for each online therapy session individually, making the cost clear and easy to manage.

You are free to end therapy whenever you feel the time is right, with no additional fees or hidden costs. Where possible, we encourage you to discuss this with your therapist so you can reflect on your progress and bring your work together to a thoughtful ending. We kindly ask that you give your therapist at least 48 hours notice before ending your regular sessions.

The initial assessment costs just £20 because it is a 25-minute session with one of our assessors. It is designed to help us understand your needs and determine whether Choose Therapy is the right fit for you. If you decide to proceed, you can choose the therapist you would like to work with. Your full counselling sessions will then cost £42 each.
