Low Cost Therapy & Counselling at HQ Therapy
At the moment our low-cost therapy service has a waiting list of up to 12 weeks. If you would like to start therapy immediately, we can make a referral for you within our main therapy practice. Some of our accredited therapists will often offer a reduced-rate range of rates, depending on your financial circumstances and you can let us know what you can afford.
HQ Therapy’s affordable Low-Cost Therapy service in Hackney, London E8 offers counselling, psychotherapy and coaching at a discounted rate for those who are struggling financially.
Our discounted therapy places are means-tested and rates range from £15 to £30 per session. They are carried out by experienced trainees who are undertaking a Postgraduate Diploma at the University of East London, Metanoia, the Institute for Therapy in Education or a similar University and qualification elsewhere.
Each counsellor brings with them years of experience from different fields including working with bereavement, children, young people, special needs, corporate coaching as well as a wealth of previous career experience.
Low Cost Therapy sessions are conducted in the same way as full-paying sessions. All trainees are supervised by the University the trainee attends. Trainee therapists also attend individual clinical supervision.
Trainees are in their last months of training as a qualified and registered Counsellor and Coach with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) or United Kingdom Counselling and Psychotherapy (UKCP).
If you do not have financial issues, we would still be happy to find a therapist for you within our main therapy practice. This can be at a reduced rate, or full rate, depending on the therapist you choose.
Confidentiality
All of our affordable sessions are confidential and counsellors practice in accordance with the British Association of Counselling (BACP) and Psychotherapy or the United Kingdom Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework.
Confidentiality will only be breached under extreme circumstances, for example, if there is a risk of serious harm to the client or others or when the law requires the therapist to do so.
