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?

Oh dear. Big fan of nature. It's absolutely NOT the same as therapy, and don't kid yourself that it is

I pay £60 for a one hour session, small local independent practice

£50 rural Scotland.

As a rule of thumb higher fees can frequently mean worse therapist. Very low fees are also not a good sign either, so I would suggest looking for therapists in the £50-£80 bracket if outside of London and the £60-£100 bracket if in London.

I found the same. Is he perfect? No. Do we have clashes and conflict? Absolutely. But he has stuck with me through all of it and proved a hundred times over that he will stay and we will sort it, no matter what.

I think perseverance, compassion and willingness to further educated and improve yourself is a much more important quality than simply having a lot of qualifications and experience.

My last therapist I’m sure it was £70 at least.

£130 for 50 minutes with a clinical psychologist for my daughter. Counsellor was around 50-65 but not as effective as clinical psychologist which reflects the cost

I had psychotherapy in London and her rate was £120 for 50 min. I had read that it is worth asking if they can offer a lower rate and to my surprise it worked. The conversation was difficult (keep in mind I had not yet had any sessions other than the initial consultation/ agreement terms) and I felt guilty / awkward (hence, the therapy!) but she asked what price could I pay, I suggested £90 am she accepted. It was still a lot of money for me but I’m glad for the time I had with her.

I think that given your circumstances the conversation could be easier - you value the sessions enormously but private medial plan has ended, can she offer a reduced rate in order to continue the work. Have you tried that?

£70 in London, psychoanalytic psychotherapist. Friends/colleagues’ therapists range from £50 (unusually low in London) to around £85.

Clinical psychologists absolutely take the piss with their fees. I know a psychologist charging £150 per session who is very depressed himself, and only does CBT, not proper talk therapy. Lots of psychotherapists are just as highly trained. But the industry is a Wild West and it’s very hard to know what to look for. (I’m a nearly qualified psychotherapist with a masters.)

Not everyone who is in therapy has suffered ACE or trauma.

I pay £70 for 50 minutes, my teen's is £55 for 50 minutes and my husband is £55 for an hour. We are in the southwest and my daughter and I have online therapists. My husband's therapy is in person.

I recently found someone new when my psychologist retired, and some were up to £150 per hour.

Counselling session with local therapist for anxiety issues. £55 per session of 1 hour.

Two years ago I paid £65 a session. My husband now pays £75 for 75 minutes

200 euro

I haven’t had a session myself in about 4-5 years, but I paid £50-55.

🙄 please do provide your evidence that getting out in nature, helps resolve trauma from an abusive childhood.

£100

50 £ for 45 minutes for my teenage son.

£120 my child is £55

I pay £120 but my she is a Psycologist of many years experience not a ‘therapist’

I should say she has been transformative but not only to me to my family through the work I’ve done on myself and even to my friends. Some who have had similar trauma to me and I’ve supported them to see things differently and seek out support for themselves xx

£125 for 50 mins online with qualified psychologist (rather than ‘just’ a counsellor).

£55 per hour for private psychotherapy. I go twice a month.

Exactly I had to go back 50 years and the therapist let me tell my story.
And it was far from easy.
Like yourself childhood trauma DV household was mine.

So all 3 of you are in therapy?
