Fees/Book
Counselling & Therapy Pricing in Cheltenham & Online across the UK
Straightforward counselling fees, with space to take that first step.
At Acorn Therapy, I keep my fees clear and straightforward. I offer a free initial consultation so we can talk about what’s happening, explore what you’re looking for and see whether working together feels right for you. If you’re a parent or carer enquiring on behalf of a teenager or young adult, we can also discuss their needs and how counselling might help.
My counselling fees
Standard counselling session: £50 for 50 minutes
Initial consultation: Free, up to 25 minutes
Longer sessions: Available by arrangement and charged on a pro-rata basis
Where I offer counselling
Face-to-face counselling: Cheltenham and Moreton-in-Marsh
Online counselling: Across Gloucestershire and throughout the UK
Whether you’re looking for support for yourself or someone you care about, you don’t need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. The initial consultation is an opportunity to ask questions, share a little about what’s been happening and decide what feels right for you, without any obligation to continue.
My aim is to make that first step feel a little less daunting, with clear information about fees and a welcoming space to begin a conversation.
All fees are listed in British pounds (£).

How long does a counselling session last?
Standard Therapy/Counselling Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes, and you can choose a schedule that works best for you—whether it’s a single session, weekly, fortnightly, twice weekly, or on an ad hoc basis.
Double Sessions
Our extended sessions last 1 hour and 50 minutes, providing extra time to explore multiple issues in greater depth. These are ideal if you want to make faster progress or address several areas at once. Many clients find double sessions especially helpful for diving deeper or covering more ground in a single appointment.
