What we Do
We Offer Low Cost Counselling to all members of our community
Can counselling help me?
Counselling works, there is plenty of evidence to support that fact. The most important factor in feeling better is a desire to change, that – and the relationship with your counsellor.
Who do we help?
We work with adults and children from the age of 12. With male and female counsellors who have a wide range of skills and experience, we’ll match you to someone who can help.
What does it cost?
When requested or required, sessions with a Student/Trainee Counsellor will cost £30. When working with a Qualified Counsellor sessions will cost £40. Currently our cost for couples counselling is £65.
Is Counselling Right for Me?
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling. Many people come to us feeling stuck, unsure, anxious, or just in need of someone to talk to outside of family and friends.
Counselling is a space for you to feel heard — to talk about what’s going on, without fear of judgement. It’s a collaborative process that can help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Together, we work towards change, healing and self-understanding.
There’s no ‘right’ reason to seek support. If you’re thinking about it, you probably already know it could help.

A Word from Our Clients
I was in a dark place when I reached out and found that getting the help that I could afford was almost impossible until I found Heart to Heart. Their recurrence and professionalism was amazing and I can’t thank them enough for helping me when I needed it the most. I would recommend counselling with Heart to Heart to anyone who needs it.
Karen
I just wanted to say thank you for your help and to say what a positive experience I’ve had working with Aron. I was quite nervous before my first session and wasn’t sure if it was the right thing for me to do but Aron immediately made me feel at ease. I feel so much better from my sessions and I’m really thankful to Aron for making me feel able to be open and talk through how I was feeling.
Becca
Working on myself was such a scary thing to do but with the right help, I can now say I’m in such a better place. I’ve recommended Heart to Heart to all my friends and family it’s a great service.
Tom
Having the ability to really deeply listen and reflect has helped me to find my feet again. After nine weeks I feel more solid, more sure of myself and more able to speak my own truth without fear.
Anonymous
I was really made to feel welcomed by Heart to Heart which made it a lot easier for me as I was really nervous. I had never had counselling before but was at my tipping point when I reached out to them, I’m so glad that I did it has been a life-changing experience.
