to ask what you pay per session for therapy?

[Willyouwritetome]

The Priory charge £160 per session which seems outrageous to me but wanted to ask what others pay for private therapy?

Depends on who it’s with but I saw a clinic psychologist on Harley Street nearly a decade ago and it was £120/hour so that seems broadly in line with that.

I pay £50
My child is £70

Last year I was paying £60 per 45 minute session for me and £80 for my child’s.

£75

I agree it would be reasonable for a clinical psychologist but these are just therapists

I think The Priory is such a big brand that they can charge more.

Yep. I was covered by private medical insurance but that’s stopped now so I’m going to lose my therapist if I can’t stump up £160 per week.

£60 for a BACP accredited psychotherapist found through BACP’s directory.

Qualifications, PhDs, Masters, and letters after their name mean absolutely nothing when it comes to how good someone is at actually relating to another human being and sitting alongside and holding their pain. I tried 5 therapists before I found mine.
when I first began working with her she was newly qualified woman straight out of training. She has bags of patience, was incredibly attuned to me, and was willing to try and meet me. No fancy credentials, but she was brilliant.
The rest is just window dressing really. Has anyone else found the same?

£50 but not at a big name clinic.

£65

£120

I’m not in the UK but €60 is standard here.

“Just therapists”? I imagine at the priory they are trained to masters level, which is 5/6 years of training. It’s a pretty high level of training!

I charge £70, and offer a lower rate for clients in hardship. Lots of therapists near me charge £50-£60. £160 is high imo, but not the highest I have heard of

£55 for 50 mins
BACP registered psychotherapist working with a broad range of modalities
Small clinic

I didn’t phrase that very well. My therapist is very good but definitely not trained to masters level.

Fuck therapy, get out in nature. It's free.

£70 which could be in person or online, but therapist (CBT) has better availability online. 45 minutes.

A couples therapist found through Relate was £60 I think. 55 minutes.

Just do what I do and have a few friends to whinge to every few weeks. I pay for their coffee. Bargain 😁

£44 per hour for mine. She's an experienced Psychodynamic Therapist.

£50
Private individual
Shes great
edit. Go with someone you like is my advice.
Went to Priory 30 years ago when I needed to demonstrate being on edge of breakdown -don’t ask. Faked symptoms and went along with suggested additional ones successfully.

£20 for 50 mins, from students gaining their qualifications, overseen by clinic heads.

I do that all day every day but that’s not going to fix an abusive childhood on it’s own

No friends and no family
