Low Cost Clinic

The Guild of Psychotherapists Low Cost Clinic offers psychotherapy to anyone on a low income, aged 18 or older and who lives in Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark. We welcome adults of all ethnicities, nationalities, disabilities, genders, sexual orientations, religions and ages.

What we offer

The Guild’s Low Cost Clinic offers once-weekly psychoanalytic psychotherapy for up to two years, face-to-face at Nelson Square in Southwark, or online. Sessions are 50 minutes long. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a talking treatment that provides a confidential and non-judgmental setting in which to explore hard-to-cope-with issues that may be difficult to discuss with family and friends.

The clinic office is open at the following times:

Monday	Closed
Tuesday	9:30am – 5:30pm
Wednesday	9:30am – 5:30pm
Thursday	9:30am – 5:30pm
Friday	10:00am – 6:00pm

How do I get started?

Call the Clinic Office to arrange an initial consultation with one of the Clinic’s therapists. The consultation is an opportunity to talk about what troubles you and ask any questions you may have. It will last up to one hour.

After the consultation, we will contact you to allocate you a therapist. If we consider that talking therapy is not the best option for you then we will suggest alternatives.

How much will it cost?

The initial consultation costs £35. After this, fees are charged on a sliding scale from a minimum of £5 per session. Once agreed, session fees are payable whether you attend or not.

Three Steps

Initial Contact

Get in touch with the clinic by phone or email to arrange a preliminary meeting. This initial 90-minute session, which costs £35, provides a space for you to share your current concerns, ask questions, and discuss therapy options.

Therapist Assignment

Following your initial meeting, the clinic will carefully review your needs and assign a therapist suited to your situation.

Weekly Therapy Sessions

Your weekly, in-person therapy then begins, offering a consistent, confidential environment for you to explore personal challenges. Fees are adjusted on a sliding scale starting at £5 per session, making therapy accessible and manageable.
