How Much Does it Cost?
We know that paying for counselling every week can be a big expense, so we offer low cost sessions to make counselling more accessible to our community.
​As a Community Interest Company, our goal is to provide affordable counselling to local residents, especially those with lower incomes. Our service relies only on client fees to operate, and we are required to register for VAT.
Your First Step to Counselling with Mindsia
Initial Assessment
We provide a 45-minute initial assessment as the starting point for your counselling journey with us. This assessment is typically conducted via Google Meet, though we’re happy to accommodate your preferred platform if you have one. A contribution of £15 is requested towards the cost of this session.
In this comfortable and informal conversation, one of our client support advisors will take the time to understand your unique needs and preferences, helping us match you with the most suitable therapist for your journey.
