A fair price for therapy?

Once, when I had something big to heal, I paid £900 for therapy, which was quite a stretch for me at the time. After I’d made the payment I freaked out a bit, feeling that it put a huge amount of pressure on the sessions to be successful. In the end though it turned out that they were the most effective sessions I ever had, I healed something huge within myself and I realised that part of that was due to the cost. I likely wouldn’t have experienced the same degree of healing, even with the same therapist, if I’d paid much less.

This might sound unlikely or like some kind of clever marketing ploy, especially when we've been trained by culture to get things for the lowest possible price, but I found that I put more of myself into the sessions because of the money I’d invested and I got more out of them as a result. It was the best £900 I’d ever spent. I've spend similar amounts on coaching or therapy since and never regretted it.

What we often don’t consider is that paying for therapy is an actual part of the therapy itself. The best therapy costs a little bit more than feels entirely comfortable but not so much that you either can’t access it or will become panicked about over spending (mine was probably a bit much for me at that time).

Because this amount is different for everyone depending on our life situation and financial circumstances, I don’t have a set fee for my one to one sessions or packages. I ask my clients to reflect on what amount feels just a little bit more than comfortable for them in their situation and we go with that.

If you struggle to find this answer within yourself the chart below is available for guidance. If the prices offered there don’t feel right for you, use them as a starting point to see what does. Our financial situation is made up of more than just our income and it’s fine to factor that in. Nobody will be conducting any checks and you still have the option to go for the lowest price possible if that feels the right one for you.

The minimum price is £55 for a single session £300 for a six session package and all packages start with a free consultation.
