We’re a Community Interest Company changing the face of counselling.
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support.
Life can be tough. We get it.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, burnout, depression, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, life changes, identity issues or simply feeling overwhelmed, we connect you with trained therapists who offer compassionate, professional support at an affordable price.
Initial consultations are £15, with ongoing weekly sessions from £30. Concession spaces are available from £18.
Once you book your consultation, we aim to match you with a therapist within a week.
You can change therapist at any time and leave the service whenever you choose.
Because counselling should feel accessible — emotionally and financially.
Our aim is simple: to make counselling available to people who might otherwise feel priced out of support.
We believe counselling should be open to everyone, including those who may struggle to access private therapy because of cost, long waiting lists, or life circumstances.
Whether you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or simply exploring your options, you’re welcome here.

Affordable Online Counsellors Offering Compassionate Support
The Affordable Counselling Network works with over 150 counsellors, each bringing their own background, perspective, lived experience, and areas of understanding.
Our network includes counsellors from a wide range of cultures, identities, sexualities, and neurotypes. We see this breadth of experience as one of our greatest strengths, helping us offer thoughtful and meaningful counselling matches based on each person’s individual needs.
Many people begin counselling because they want a confidential space to talk openly, reflect, better understand themselves, or work through difficult experiences with the support of a trained professional.
We understand that reaching out can feel daunting, especially if therapy is new to you.
You’re invited to visit our other pages for more information about our Online Counselling services, and for details about how to get started with an Initial Consultation.

What Our Clients Say
Working with Kirsty has been a truly positive experience. I’ve really appreciated her patience, professionalism, and the way she creates a space where it feels easy to open up and reflect. She’s been a great help to me, and I’m very grateful for the guidance she’s provided.
Anon ~ January 2026
Ann-Marie is a great counsellor - steady, psychologically literate, and ethically grounded. She was able to sit with discomfort without rushing to fix it or me, listen beneath the surface of what I said, and challenged unhelpful patterns without shaming me. She is emotionally regulated, clear about boundaries, and was respectful of my own agency rather than attempting to rescue me.

💛 All Are Welcome 🏳️🌈
We are proud to be a neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQIA+ inclusive counselling service. Many of our team members identify as neurodiverse and we welcome clients and counsellors of all genders, sexualities, identities, backgrounds, and neurotypes.
You don’t need to identify in any particular way, have a diagnosis, or fit a specific label to access counselling through ACN. Our counsellors aim to offer therapy that is respectful, thoughtful, and responsive to each person’s lived experience.
If any of these statements sound familiar, we might be a good fit...
- I’m looking for affordable counselling and want costs to be clear
- I’d like weekly, one-to-one online therapy
- I want to work with the same counsellor over time
- I need culturally sensitive and inclusive support
- I’m neurodivergent and want supportive, ND-affirming therapy
- I don’t have a clear goal yet, but I think talking might help me
What if I'm not sure yet?
You don’t need to be certain, have everything worked out, or know the “right” words. It’s okay to take your time, read things more than once, ask questions, or decide later. Counselling should feel accessible, not pressured.
