Therapy Fees and Investment in Your Mental Health
Our Fees for Private Therapy
Phone Consultation
Free 20 minute exploratory call
A brief call to answer your questions and check we can offer what you need, before booking your first session.
First Meeting
£150 / one-off 50 minute initial consultation
A first meeting to talk about what brings you to therapy, and a taster of what working together would feel like.
Therapy Sessions
£150 / per 50 minute session
A regular, protected time and space just for you. How often we meet is agreed together, for as long as it meets your needs.
Why We Work Outside of Insurance
EAP counselling is usually short term and aimed at solving a specific, current problem, so more complex or ongoing needs are often referred elsewhere.
Private health insurance covers more ground, but only for conditions that develop after your cover starts and are on their recognised list, within an annual allowance.
Burnout isn’t classed as a medical condition or an official mental health diagnosis – it’s considered a workplace phenomenon. Much of what comes from work-related trauma exposure sits in that same grey area, so it doesn’t always have a clear place in either system.
If you work in a high pressure, high stakes, or trauma exposed role, it rarely stays separate from the rest of your life, and the need for support doesn’t end when a set number of sessions do.
Many people come to us after finding the usual options don’t quite fit, whether that’s limited EAP sessions, coaching that isn’t therapy, or supervision that primarily focuses on your casework but not the personal toll it takes on you.
YTherapy is a space where you don’t need to leave part of yourself at the door, where work and personal life can be explored together, not kept in separate rooms.
Benefits of Private Therapy
Your privacy stays yours.
No diagnosis or clinical label goes to a third party, and nothing is shared with an insurance provider.
You keep your autonomy.
You and your therapist decide how long therapy lasts and what it focuses on, not an insurer.
You get direct access to care.
No waiting on authorisation or referral processes, just a quicker route to support.
Can My Employer Pay For My Therapy?
Some people access therapy here because their employer is funding it. If that’s the route you’re taking, here’s what to expect.
Once you and your employer have agreed that this is the right support for you, we set things up directly with them. We agree on the financial and administrative details together, so the business side stays out of the therapy room.
Your therapy stays fully confidential. We don’t share what you talk about or any personal details about you with your employer. Any feedback we may share is kept general, about the service provision, and not about your individual sessions.
Corporate rates differ from our fees for individuals, reflecting the administrative work involved in a professional contract with an organisation.
