Common questions
- Why is the first session more expensive?
- Many practices run a longer first session (an intake) to understand your situation and agree goals. Follow-up sessions are usually shorter and cheaper.
- Counsellor or clinical psychologist?
- Both provide talking therapy. Clinical psychologists can also do formal psychological assessments. For everyday concerns like stress, anxiety or relationships, many people start with a counsellor.
- Is online therapy cheaper?
- Most practices charge the same for online and in-person sessions. Online saves travel time.
- How do I book?
- Open a practice, check the details, and send a ready-made WhatsApp or email. The practice replies to confirm your appointment.
