Is this service for me?

If you are in emotional need and looking for a safe confidential space to explore your psychological difficulties, we are here for you.  We welcome people with a whole range of issues, including complex needs and severe mental illness.

What can I expect?

Our Psychotherapy and Counselling service offers a range of therapeutic interventions tailored to meet your needs. From individual therapies including psychodynamic and integrative to group therapies featuring creative therapies including art and dance movement, our diverse team of therapists are equipped to support you.

All of our therapists work within the ethical framework of the organisation of which they are a member, such as the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) or the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

All of our sessions are offered in person.

Sessions are scheduled on the following days and times:
Tuesday: 10am-6pm
Wednesday: 10am-9pm – limited places
Thursday: 10am-7pm

Is there a cost for therapy?

There is a charge for the initial assessment session and any ongoing therapy sessions. We operate on a sliding scale and offer three possible fees depending on income:

1. £40/session: people on an annual income above £25k

2. £25/session: people with an annual income between £15k and £25k

3. £10/session: people on benefits/earning less than £15k/year – limited places

How many sessions do I get?

Our individual therapy service offers 20 sessions for talking and art therapies.

In cases where psychotherapy may not be the best option initially, short-term CBT or trauma-focused interventions may be recommended as a first course of treatment.

We have limited places for longer-term therapy (up to 40 weeks) for people with complex needs.

Groups vary in length from 6 weeks to ongoing depending on each group.

Our Psychotherapy and Counselling Service is offered to residents of Richmond and its surrounding boroughs (where there is not a Mind).
