Affordable Counselling for Students: What you need to know

If you’re a student considering counselling, you’re not alone. Whether you’re balancing academic pressures, personal challenges, or the demands of a counselling course yourself, the decision to seek support is a courageous step. But let’s be honest—finding the right therapist can be overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling tight finances and countless profiles.

As someone who has been a student navigating similar challenges, I understand how daunting it can feel to reach out for help. That’s why I’ve made it a priority to offer affordable counselling options tailored to students, particularly those studying counselling or psychotherapy at college or university.

Why Choose Counselling as a Student?

Life as a student is exciting, but it’s also a time of immense change and pressure. You might be managing coursework, part-time jobs, placements, or even the emotional impact of studying to become a counsellor yourself. Counselling provides a space to reflect, process your experiences, and build resilience—tools that can make a world of difference in both your personal and academic life.

As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we create a space where your experiences and feelings are valid, where you can unpack your challenges without fear of judgment, and where you’re supported in finding your own solutions.

Affordable Counselling Tailored to You

I know that finances can often be a barrier to seeking support. That’s why I offer competitive rates for students, with a sliding scale available upon request. Here’s how it works:

  • Student Discounts: If you’re currently enrolled in college or university, you’ll need to provide proof of student status, such as an ID card or badge, to access discounted rates.
  • Sliding Scale: While I strive to make therapy as affordable as possible, I encourage students to ask about a sliding scale if they’re experiencing financial hardship. This ensures that counselling remains accessible while being fair to both of us.
  • Flexible Options: I offer both online and in-person sessions, so you can choose what works best for your schedule and comfort.

For Counselling Students

If you’re studying counselling or psychotherapy, you might find therapy particularly beneficial. It’s a unique opportunity to explore your own experiences while learning more about how counselling works in practice. It’s also a requirement for many courses, though it’s important to note that I may not meet the specific criteria of all institutions. If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to check with your course provider before booking.

Regardless of your course requirements, having a space to explore your emotions and challenges can deepen your understanding of the counselling process and enhance your development as a future therapist.

Why Person-Centred Therapy?

As someone who has experienced various therapeutic approaches, I chose to practice person-centred therapy because it empowers clients to take the lead in their healing journey. In our sessions, we’ll work collaboratively to explore what’s important to you, without any pressure to conform to a rigid structure or predefined goals.

This approach is particularly suited to students, as it fosters self-awareness and resilience—skills that are invaluable both in your studies and in life.

Ready to Take the First Step?

If you’ve been considering counselling but felt unsure where to start, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can create a supportive space that fits your needs and your budget, whether you’re looking for support with personal challenges, academic stress, or the demands of a counselling course.

Therapy is an investment in yourself, and it doesn’t have to break the bank. Get in touch today (click here) to learn more about how affordable counselling can work for you as a student.
