What Makes Us Special?
Two of the most common barriers to accessing therapy are high prices and long waiting lists, UKCN are committed to overcoming both. Everybody in our organisation, directors, administrative staff and therapists, are passionate about delivering high-quality affordable counselling and psychotherapy.
Our low-cost counselling service offers sessions at a standard rate of £28 and we aim to have you assessed and starting with a counsellor within 1 week of your initial contact, and there is currently no waiting list for our services.
Importantly, we do not cap the number of sessions offered to you. Many free and low-cost services are capped at between 6-12 sessions. At UK Counselling Network, we believe that everybody should be able to access the care they need for as long as they require.
In addition to our commitment to providing low cost counselling services, we are equally dedicated to supporting our staff. We offer some free supervision and monthly professional development workshops to help our counsellors and psychotherapists grow in their roles. As a result, our team is highly motivated and fully committed to providing you with the best possible care.
