Our Fees

The therapy sessions and services listed below have different fees which depend on the therapist you choose. The reason for this is that Common Ground Therapy currently has no set fee structure and as therapists, we work together on a self-employed basis. As therapists we strive to make our services as accessible and affordable for local communities and we welcome all enquiries about this. See our therapists page for more information and the means to make direct contact.

How it works

The pathway to having therapy sessions with Common Ground Therapy, or to accessing one of our services, involves the following:

  1. Select the type of therapy — View our services that suit your needs and see which therapists offer it
  2. Contact a therapist — Visit our therapists page to choose and contact a therapist, or contact us with your initial enquiry if you are unsure
  3. Discuss details — Email or speak with the therapist to check their fees, format, structure, length and frequency of sessions, pathway to regular sessions, therapeutic approach, or anything else you need to feel clear about
  4. Arrange an introductory meeting — Have a meeting in which your needs will be assessed and you can try out therapy together before making decisions about future ongoing sessions or being signposted to try something else
