Low-cost therapy services in London
Making therapy financially sustainable for the entire duration of the treatment is important from the outset.
Some private therapists offer a few lower-cost therapy slots – ask about availability and see below some guidance on how to navigate online directories and choose the right therapist for you.
Alternatively, there are some longer-term low-cost talking therapy services that enable access to high-quality therapy for people on low incomes and benefits. These services are often based in the community or attached to therapy training institutes.
