Costs - the nitty gritty
Investing in therapy and counselling is such a valuable thing to do, and can have far reaching positive consequences across our lifetimes. I also strongly believe in the importance of the type of support really meeting your individual needs and personality. My range of experience, training, and therapy approaches allows us to collaboratively explore what will help you best.
Acorns Therapy and Counselling South Lakes offer an initial free 10 minute telephone consultation or video call, to talk over what you are wanting support with, and any questions or worries you may have. Alternatively you can simply book an initial assessment session, where we can meet and explore how I can help.
The initial assessment and support sessions are from my therapy room in the South Lakes, near Kendal, Cumbria, and the first session is just £35.
Further counselling and therapy sessions are £45, this is for an hour therapy session. I recommend a minimum of 6-12 sessions, it takes everyone different amounts of time to explore and build a therapeutic relationship, and feel positive change, but I will always work to fit with your requirements, and even a small amount of support can make real difference in your life.
Therapeutic family work is charged at £60 a session, this involved working with the family or part of the family as a whole.
I have all the materials needed for creative approaches to therapy with children and young people, and work both inside, and outside in nature when appropriate to do so. I can provide school-based sessions when this is best to meet your child’s needs.
Walk and talk therapy sessions can be booked as a one off, or in the same manner as the other counselling and therapies.
Group therapy in the South Lakes ranges in price (see below for further information on group work).
Carers therapy…
At Acorns Therapy South Lakes I offer a discount for therapy and counselling for parents/carers, who are unpaid carers to a child or family member, who is in receipt of DLA or PIP payments. If this applies to you let me know. As a carer to my daughter, I know how important support is.
I can write professional reports of needs and support if needed, including for EHCP reports. These are charged accordingly, dependent on time needed and content required.
I also can attend and support families and young people in TAC, EHCP, social care, general school meetings if required. Attendance at meetings is charged depending on time and location. Please do ask.
Payment is required by online transfer before your session, or cash if you do not use internet banking services.
Any cancellations with more than 48 hours notice can be transferred to a new date without further charge.
Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice, are charged at a rate of £25.

Group therapy South Lakes, and therapeutic support sessions
A few times a year I run therapeutic group support sessions for young people at Acorns Therapy South Lakes.
These are provided as both one off half day sessions, or over 4-8 evenings. They are focussed on different areas around mental wellbeing for teens, including those with additional needs, and development of mindfulness, stress, and self esteem. They can also be a chance to build bonds with other young people.
Therapy Groups are advertised a month before via email and social media, costs vary depending on the length of the group, and the area of support being provided.
All my therapy groups are a safe and confidential sharing space, where you have place to feel listened to, held, learn some new coping strategies, and have a little time to grow for yourself.
They are all held in the South Lakes, in beautiful Cumbrian surroundings. Good for the soul!
