The Free Psychotherapy Network: We are a group of psychotherapists offering free psychotherapy to people on low incomes. Since 2014, we have been developing our own ways of doing no-fee work and we are supporting each other in the experience. We would like other qualified psychotherapists and counsellors to join us in building the network.

Arbours Association  Fees for therapy sessions vary depending on your personal circumstances. For some individuals, the standard or reduced fees may not be financially possible. In these situations we may be able to apply for a grant that would contribute to the cost of the therapy so that those individuals would be able to pay a reduced fee of £10-30. The grant will contribute to pay the cost of the therapy for a maximum period of one year. 

Our standard fees range from £60-90 with the final fee being negotiated with your therapist.

Places are limited, and all clients are expected to make a commitment to come for therapy twice a week for at least 18 months. The psychotherapist will usually be either a trainee in weekly supervision, or a psychotherapist who has completed their training with The Bowlby Centre.
