Affordable
Counselling Services
Our affordable counselling service provides professional, confidential support. Sessions, offered online or in person, help you navigate anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship challenges and more.
During an initial assessment, we’ll discuss your circumstances and set a fair fee based on your income, then match you with a counsellor. Our focus is on providing compassionate, ethical and affordable counselling that supports your wellbeing.
If The Counselling Foundation is not suitable for your needs we will try to signpost you to a more appropriate service.
Please note our Bedford centre can only accept online and telephone counselling appointments.

Further Information
The majority of our counsellors in the self-funded service are in training to attain a professional qualification in counselling. Our Diploma training is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). All counsellors have their work supervised by senior colleagues to maintain appropriate standards of practice. All material discussed in this supervision is kept confidential within The Counselling Foundation.
We support clients with anxiety, depression, trauma and other mental health challenges, offering an affordable service to make professional help accessible.
