What Is Low-Cost Therapy?
Our low-cost service is delivered by therapists in training—individuals who are currently completing recognised qualifications in counselling or psychotherapy, or undertaking advanced training to expand their professional expertise.
While still in training, these therapists work with skill, commitment, and care. Many clients find therapy with a trainee to be a powerful and valuable experience, often appreciating the attentiveness and fresh perspective they bring.
Professional Standards and Supervision
All therapists offering low-cost sessions at The Mindful Practice:
- Are enrolled in accredited counselling or psychotherapy training programmes
- Attend regular clinical supervision with experienced, registered supervisors
- Are student members of a recognised professional body (e.g. BACP, UKCP, or equivalent)
- Fully adhere to the ethical codes and professional standards of their registering organisation
This framework ensures the service you receive is not only supportive, but also safe, ethical, and held to rigorous standards.
Who Is This Service For?
This service may be suitable if you:
- Want to access therapy but need a more affordable option

Our therapists in training can work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, relationship difficulties, trauma, and more.
Cost and Availability
Fees for our low-cost service range from £30 to £75 per session, depending on your individual circumstances and the therapist’s stage of training. We aim to offer flexible appointments, including daytime and some evening availability.
