Overview

 At Chelmsford Talking Therapy we are committed to providing access to professional counselling at a cost that is affordable to you, and we understand the importance of being transparent with our fees. 

COVID-19 update: In line with government advice and BACP guidelines, Chelmsford Talking Therapy has temporarily suspended the undertaking of 90 minute initial assessments. Although the counselling room is kept ventilated at all times, and treated with anti-bacterial products between each session, we are advised that for client safety sessions should be kept to the absolute minimum therapeutic time. We view this as 50 minutes (known as the 'Therapeutic Hour'). Your initial assessment/first session will therefore now be scheduled for 50 minutes only.      

Ordinarily we recommend you see your counsellor weekly, but variations in frequency (more, or less) can be accommodated if your particular needs require this. Please contact us for more information. 

Each 50 minute session is charged at: 

• £50.00 (individuals) 
• £60.00 (couples or families)

Each 50 minute session is charged at:

• £40.00 (individuals)

At CTT we like to keep aside a limited number of sessions per week for those that may find it difficult to cover the full cost of counselling, for whatever reason. Please contact us in confidence to explore what options may be available for you.

Our Senior Counsellor Nick Bacon is registered with - and able to accept referrals from - the following Health Insurance providers:

• BUPA

Please contact your provider for advice on cover, policy and procedure for treatment.  We will not be able to proceed with your treatment plan without prior authorisation from your insurance provider.

We understand that unexpected things can sometimes get in the way, meaning you may need to cancel your appointment. We would please ask that you give 24 hours notice of cancellation if at all possible, otherwise there if a risk you may have to pay for your missed session. 

Thank you for your understanding.
