Discounted Sessions
I strongly believe that counselling should be accessible for everyone. For that reason, Healing Roots offers concessionary rates on in-person, video and telephone counselling for people on low income or those struggling financially. There are three different discounts:
-
Student Discount (for students 18+ in full-time education).
-
Low Income Discount (for those receiving government-granted benefits such as Universal Credit, or those on sick leave from work).
-
Cost of Living Discount (for any new clients regardless of income).
Student Discount
£5 off sessions (£45 instead of £50). For those in full-time education and can be accessed through booking as normal - you just need to mention that you would like the discount and provide evidence of your full-time, student status (such as your letter of enrollment). Student ID cards are not accepted unless dated and evidence that you are a full-time, not part-time, student.
Low Income Discount
£20 off sessions (£30 instead of £50). To ensure I can afford to keep the lights on and continue to run my practice, there is a simple system on which the Low Income Discount operates. Firstly, discounted sessions are only available Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 4pm, or Fridays at 12:30pm. Secondly, only one person is able to access this discount at a time, meaning that there is a waitlist. How the whole process works is simple:
1. Get in touch. You must be able to provide up-to-date proof that you are either on benefits or long-term sick leave from work.
2. You will be given an estimated start date and asked if you would like to join the wait list (if there is one).
3. If you've been on the wait list, you will be contacted one week before your sessions can start to ensure you still want counselling. You will then get access to 6 discounted sessions. These sessions must be had weekly.
4. If, after six sessions you wish to continue counselling, you have two options. (1) Start paying full price, the frequency of sessions can be reduced to fit your budget. Or (2) Go back on the waiting list. This is something that we can discuss nearer the end of your sessions so that we can find an option to suit you.
Cost of Living Discount
£10 off each of the first six sessions (£40 instead of £50) for new clients. Times are hard at the moment, and I'm aware that therapy can be costly (although worth it). Many are feeling the financial pinch, but looking after your mental health is more important than ever with the many stressors of modern life and the long nights looming. To help reverse some of the strain, I am offering £10 off six in-person, online, or phone sessions for new clients. There is no obligation to carry on with therapy after the six sessions are over, to pay for them all at once, or to prove your income. Simply ask for the discount upon booking your first session. This discount is only available until February 2024, not available in conjunction with any other discount, and depends on availability.
Low Income Discount
If you are on benefits or long term sick-leave from work due to your mental health and are able to provide evidence, you are eligible for £20 off counselling sessions.
