Appointments

Sevenoaks Counselling offers counselling both face-to-face and remotely by phone or online.

If you would like to access counselling with us please email our office on: info@sevenoakscounselling.org.uk or call 01732 450118 and leave a message. We will respond to you as soon as we are able. 

Following an initial consultation to assess the approach that is likely to work best for you, you will be placed on the waiting list for either face-to-face or phone/online counselling. Counselling may be short or long term, depending on what you and your counsellor decide. Sometimes following the initial consultation it may be recommended that you approach an alternative specialist service that could better serve your needs.

If you choose to go ahead, we then work hard to match you to the right therapist for ongoing counselling and to keep any wait to a minimum. There can be a delay before regular counselling can be offered; this depends on your availability and that of an appropriate counsellor.

Prior to the initial consultation we will email you our Information for Clients plus a copy of the Counselling Agreement and our Privacy Policy. We have a Covid-19 protocol to provide a Covid-19 Secure environment which includes HEPA filters in each counselling room. Information about the protocol is in the Information for Clients. If you would like details of the protocol before you book a session, please ask the office.

Cost

The recommended amount for an initial consultation, and ongoing one-hour sessions, is £55 for individuals and £60 for couples and families.

An extended one-off ninety minute consultation session concerning children or families - £75.

We realise that for some this is more than they can afford and there are some subsidised sessions available for people living locally who cannot afford the recommended contribution. At the initial consultation we will talk about how much you are able to contribute towards the costs of your counselling.
