Our fees

Fees are negotiated with each therapist and are within the range of approximately £50-£70 per 50 minute session for individuals. Rates are likely to be higher for couples work.

Individual therapists may operate concessionary fees relating to income or time of day (evening appointments may be more expensive).

Introductory session

Initial appointments or consultations are sometimes at a slightly lower cost, depending on the therapist. Your therapist will make this clear before your first appointment.

How to pay

Fees are payable directly to your therapist by cash, bank transfer or cheque. Please discuss payment methods directly with your therapist.

Does my insurance company pay for counselling?

Some of The Palmeira Practice therapists are registered providers with a range of medical insurance companies such as BUPA and Aviva. If you have medical insurance please ensure you make thorough enquiries about their terms for allowing access to psychological therapies before proceeding. Please note not all therapists choose to be registered with an insurance company, please check first.

What happens after I contact Palmeira Practice?

After we receive your enquiry, our bookings coordinator, Brenda, will aim to match you with the counsellor that most suits your requirements. You can expect to hear back from her within 24 hours between Monday to Friday.

From there, Brenda will arrange your introductory session with that counsellor and you can begin therapy.
