Counselling Fees for Individuals and Couples in Nottingham

At HM Counselling, I aim to make therapy as accessible and transparent as possible. Below you’ll find a full breakdown of fees, including reduced rates for first sessions and concessions for those who may need them.

Clear and Flexible Pricing

Counselling should be approachable, affordable, and tailored to your needs – that’s why I offer a clear pricing structure with no hidden costs. Whether you choose face-to-face therapy in Nottingham, or prefer online or telephone counselling, you’ll receive the same level of care, professionalism, and confidentiality.

Individual Counselling:

  • Initial 60-minute session: £30

  • Ongoing 60-minute sessions: £50

Couples Counselling:

  • Initial 60-minute session: £50

  • Ongoing 60-minute sessions: £75

Concessionary Rates:

  • 60-minute individual session: £35
    Available to students and NHS key workers – limited concessionary places available.

All sessions can be paid by cash at the appointment or by bank transfer 24 hours in advance. While weekly sessions are typically recommended, I’m happy to offer flexibility to suit your schedule and needs.

What to Expect from Your First Counselling Session

Your first session is a gentle introduction to the therapeutic process. It’s an opportunity to share what’s brought you to therapy, explore the challenges you're facing, and begin thinking about what you hope to gain. This session is offered at a reduced rate of £30 for individuals or £50 for couples, giving you a chance to get a feel for how I work without a full financial commitment.
The session lasts 60 minutes and includes time to go over the counselling agreement, which outlines how we will work together. You’ll have space to talk freely and ask any questions you might have. Most importantly, it gives you the opportunity to decide whether you feel comfortable with me as your counsellor — because a good therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful progress.

Confidentiality, Cancellations, and Commitment

Everything we discuss in your sessions remains confidential, creating a safe space for you to express yourself without judgement. There are rare legal exceptions to this, which will be explained clearly during your first session.

Life happens – and if you ever need to reschedule, I simply ask for 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged at the full session rate. If I ever need to cancel, I will always offer you a new time at no extra cost.

Counselling can be short-term or long-term, depending on your goals and personal pace. Some people benefit from a handful of sessions; others choose to continue for months or longer. You are under no obligation to commit to a set number of sessions – this is your journey, and it unfolds in your own time.
