Affordable Counselling & Therapy Pricing in Bournemouth

 In the current financial climate, it’s understandable to see counselling or therapy as a luxury. Bills keep rising, and there are always cheaper options available. I’m fully aware there are counsellors, therapists, and mental health services locally and online that charge less than I do.

That doesn’t automatically make them a bad choice — but it does matter how those services are delivered.

 Many lower-cost services rely heavily on volunteer or trainee therapists, have long waiting lists, and limited flexibility. Some large online therapy platforms also use session data to train artificial intelligence, while paying inexperienced therapists poorly — putting both sides at risk.

That’s not scaremongering. It’s just something you deserve to be aware of before making a decision.

 Be wary of services that charge very high or very low fees. Expensive doesn’t always mean high quality, and cheap doesn’t always mean good value. Therapy works best when it’s accessible, consistent, and properly supported.

And to be absolutely clear - the more committed you are, the less money I make. That’s why block bookings are discounted.

 Blocks of five or ten sessions can be used weekly or fortnightly. To put that into context, a £500 session block can give you up to 20 weeks of therapy.

Think of it like a personal trainer — but for your brain. That works out at around £25 a week for focused mental health support that helps you build a healthier, more balanced life.
