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 to individuals across the UK.
We believe counselling should be open to everyone, including those who may struggle to access private therapy due to cost, long waiting lists or life circumstances. If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed or simply exploring your options, you’re welcome here.
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 now, later, or not at all, we hope this page helps you get a better sense of whether counselling feels right for you.
Our Counsellors
ACN works with over 150 counsellors, each bringing their own background, perspective, lived experience and a diversity of culture, sexuality and neurodivergence. We believe this range of experience is part of our strength as an organisation, and helps us to offer the best match possible when finding the right counsellor for you.
Meet some of our counselling team…

You’re welcome to get in touch if you have any questions:
Do any of these statements sound familiar?
If so, we could 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.
💛 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.
We offer counselling that is culturally sensitive, inclusive, and affirming, whether that’s in relation to neurodivergence, sexuality, identity, or 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. Our counsellors aim to offer therapy that is respectful, thoughtful, and responsive to each person’s lived experience.
