We are a registered charity and do not make a profit from our services. The standard fee for counselling for those with an individual or joint income of over £40,000 is as follows: 

Individual Counselling £72

Couples Counselling £72 online & £80 face-face

Children & Young People's Counselling £50

Psychosexual therapy £80

Family counselling £72 online & £80 face-face

We are committed to making sure our service is accessible to the whole community. We have a continuous programme of fundraising to be able to offer those on low incomes or on welfare benefits a reduced fee, for up to a maximum of seven sessions.

This is dependent on funding and is available by application only. The charges below will give you an idea of what you will pay and are based on your income band. If you cannot afford the fee linked to your income band, we may be able to offer further financial assistance dependent on funding and by application only.

• Under £10, 000: Individual/couples/Family/Sex therapy= £25/session
• £10, 000-£20, 000: Individual/Couples= £30 & Sex therapy/Family= £40
• £20, 000-£30, 000: Individual/Couples= £40 & Sex therapy/Family= £50
• £30, 000-£45, 000: Individual/couples= £45 & Sex therapy/ Family= £55
• Under £45,000: Children & Young People= £25

Please note that earnings are annual average income and assessed before tax.

• You will be offered a maximum of seven sessions at this rate consisting of an initial assessment and six ongoing sessions. 
• If you have previously received subsidised funding from us, you are eligible to apply for a second block of subsidised counselling, but only after six months have passed since your first block of counselling has ended.
• We offer a maximum of two blocks of subsidised counselling. After this, you will  need to pay the full cost. 

At Relate Sussex, we like to be clear about our policies. So please note that if a session is cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice, this will count as one of the seven sessions and you will have to pay for the missed session  

These guidelines provide a framework for offering counselling places at a subsidised rate.  However, Relate Sussex recognises that all cases are unique, and will endeavour to  provide some flexibility around these guidelines. Any flexibility must be agreed in  advance by the Centre Manager. Please don’t hesitate to contact our Reception Team, who will be able to give you more information.
