It's good to talk!
We provide low-cost affordable, professional, accessible counselling to clients who live, work or study in Merton.
Talking can alleviate emotional suffering and can help you reach decisions. There is plenty of research evidence to show that talking therapies work and we aim to enable individuals to lead fuller and more resourceful lives. If you are you feeling stressed or depressed, suffering from anxiety or having relationship difficulties and would like to talk to someone, please call us.
What do we offer?
We subsidise our counselling services so that no-one is prevented from getting the help they need due to lack of money. Our service is completely free to under 18s and adults pay only what they can afford. We are accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and are bound by their Codes of Ethics and Good Practice.

Arrange a consultation
Speak confidentially to our receptionist who can arrange an initial consultation with an experienced counsellor. This consultation carries a non-refundable fee of £10 if you are on benefits or working part time, or £35 if you are in full time work. Under 18s do not pay this fee. At this consultation our counsellors will talk with you and arrange for you to see the most appropriate person. If for any reason we feel our services are not appropriate for you, we will suggest alternatives. At this meeting you will also negotiate an on-going contribution towards the cost of the counselling. The contribution you make will be based on what you can afford.

Appointments are weekly (on the same time and day every week) and last for fifty minutes. You can come to see us for up to 60 weeks. You can also end the counselling at any time prior to that.
