Online Counselling
Our online counselling service provides accessible mental health support through secure video sessions. Clients receive professional therapy from qualified and trainee therapists, with sessions starting from 30 weekly. This option offers flexibility for those unable to attend in-person sessions while maintaining the same high standards of care and therapeutic effectiveness as our face-to-face services.
Face-to-Face Therapy
We offer traditional in-person therapy across six London locations with qualified and trainee therapists. Sessions cost 40 weekly and provide physical presence advantages for clients preferring direct interaction. Our venues in Little Venice, Wimpole Street, and other key London areas ensure convenient access to professional mental health support through established therapeutic relationships.
Long-Term Therapy
Unlike many services with session limits, we provide indefinite therapeutic support tailored to client needs. Our long-term approach addresses complex mental health challenges through sustained therapeutic relationships, with an average client engagement of 27 weekly sessions. This model allows for deeper exploration of personal issues and comprehensive psychological development.
Multilingual Support
We offer therapy in over 15 languages including Mandarin, French, Spanish, Russian, and Hindi. Our diverse team ensures culturally appropriate care, with assessments conducted in English and professional translation services available. This approach breaks language barriers while maintaining clinical accuracy and therapeutic effectiveness across different cultural contexts.
Trainee Supervision
Our trainee supervision programme provides structured clinical training for aspiring counsellors. Participants receive fortnightly group supervision capped at four trainees per supervisor, plus individual mentoring. This comprehensive approach develops professional competence while ensuring client safety through careful case matching and experienced supervisory oversight.
