How much does CBT counselling cost?<\/h2>\n

CBT Counselling\u00a0is generally considered to be the most cost effective model of counselling and psychotherapy, which is why it is favoured by the NHS and recommended in the NICE guidelines: indeed you may have been advised by your GP to seek out some CBT counselling which is why you are on this page.\u00a0 Unlike older models of therapy CBT can cost less because\u00a0it is more pro-active in helping you reach solutions to your difficulties, achieving better outcomes more quickly than other models.\u00a0 If you are struggling with emotional problems caused by a recent life event (say bereavement; relationship breakdown or divorce; work stress for example)\u00a0significant benefit can arise from as few as six sessions in many cases.\u00a0 Even for\u00a0more long term life difficulties – say being raised in an abusive home environment\u00a0and subsequently struggling with relationships, CBT counselling can\u00a0offer you strategies and insights to help you feel happier: consider it\u00a0a worthwhile investment in your future wellbeing.<\/p>\n

What price would you pay to be happier or to be more at ease with your self?<\/h3>\n

The cost of counselling will reflect the costs of\u00a0any professional service since with all businesses there are overheads to be covered.\u00a0 I have endeavoured to keep this as low as reasonable, and in offering package deals I hope to make therapy more accessible to you. (Compare the cost of a six session package with say a weekend away or an oil change and basic service for the car.)<\/p>\n

If you are comparing the cost of therapy sessions, it is important for you to check out a few things. Firstly and most importantly is to ascertain the level of qualification and experience. Your emotional and psychological welfare needs to be in safe hands – not those of a keen amateur. BACP accreditation is a good indicator that someone has met strict criteria in both training and experience.\u00a0 As a senior accredited practitioner, I am able to draw on many years of experience\u00a0in this work\u00a0and you can be confident that you are paying someone with\u00a0a high level of qualification and expertise.<\/p>\n

Many therapists work to\u00a0a 50 minute hour. I have found that by working to a full 60 minute hour\u00a0there is more time spent working for the client benefit and less time pro-rata spent on ‘entering\/greeting and paying\/leaving’ which means you get better value for money<\/p>\n

So, if you are looking for a therapist ask yourself…<\/strong><\/p>\n
