Pricing
Our costs, explained
Here at Holistically Human™ we believe therapy should be both high-quality and accessible. We offer a range of counselling options to suit different needs, preferences, and budgets — while maintaining a consistent standard of care.
Our therapists are carefully selected by our expert team, giving you access to a diverse range of counsellors with varying experience levels, qualifications, and specialisms. With options available across a range of price points, you can find support that suits your needs and your budget. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to counselling, which is why sessions start from £39.

Making therapy accessible
Our aim is to make counselling affordable for all. That’s why we offer a sliding scale price structure and also ensure that 3% of the counselling fees you pay is set aside to fund counselling for those on low incomes.
How to pay
It’s easy to pay for your counselling sessions. When you log in , you’re asked to create a profile. On this private page, you’ll see the Pay for Counselling button. If you click on it you’ll be taken to a secure payment section where you can either pay as you go or pay for blocks of 4-12 sessions.
Paying by other methods
If you have access to medical cover or an employee assistance/benefit scheme that includes cover for counselling sessions, some of our counsellors can work with your provider. We are registered to work with organisations including Bupa and Axa, although your choice of counsellor will be restricted to those who are accredited with those providers, which means their fees will be at the higher end of the scale.
Please note: Every provider/policy has its own individual terms & cover levels. For example, it’s common for providers to fund up to six sessions, but others will offer up to 12. We have no control over this, so please refer to your provider’s terms and conditions and discuss this with your counsellor in the first session.
What happens if you need to cancel?
We require 48 hours’ notice of cancellations, which is explained in our Counselling Contract. You’ll be sent a copy of this which include the terms of how you work with your counsellor will be carefully discussed with you in your first session.
