Welcome to the Affordable Counselling Network
We’re a social enterprise on a mission to provide high quality, accessible and low-cost online counselling and psychotherapy across the UK.
We’re here for people who want professional emotional support but may struggle to access private therapy due to cost, long waiting lists or life circumstances. We believe counselling should be open to everyone.
If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed or simply exploring your options, you’re welcome here.
Whether you’re ready to book an initial conversation or just learning more about therapy, we hope this page helps you decide whether counselling feels right for you.
Our counsellors work with a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationships, trauma, relationship difficulties, identity questions, stress, and life changes.
You don’t need a clear goal to begin counselling. Many people start simply because they want a space to talk and be heard.
Whether you decide to book an initial meeting now, later, or not at all, we hope you get a better sense of whether counselling feels right for yo
All Are Welcome At ACN ❤
You might also be looking for counselling that feels culturally sensitive, inclusive, and affirming — whether that’s in relation to neurodivergence, sexuality, identity, or lived experience.
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.
Our counsellors aim to offer therapy that is respectful, thoughtful, and responsive to each person’s lived experience. You don’t need to identify in any particular way, have a diagnosis, or fit a specific label to access counselling through ACN.
Is counselling with us right for you?
Counselling with ACN may be a good fit if you’re looking for affordable, low-cost counselling in the UK and would like regular, weekly support through one-to-one online therapy.
All sessions take place online, which can make counselling easier to fit around work and caring responsibilities, or any other travel restrictions due to location, mobility or health.
ACN may be a good fit if some of the following sound familiar
- You’re looking for affordable counselling and want costs to be clear
- You’d like weekly, one-to-one online therapy
- You value working with the same counsellor over time
- You want support that feels culturally sensitive and inclusive
- You’re neurodivergent and would like supportive, affirming therapy
- You don’t have a clear goal yet, but feel that talking might help
If you’re ready to begin your online therapy journey with us, please visit our booking page to arrange your initial meeting with a qualified counsellor from our introductory team.
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.
