Paying for therapy

We aim to provide therapy at a low cost so that it is accessible to people who have financial difficulties. Our fees are based on your personal income and circumstances.

What do my fees pay for?

Your fees directly support our small charity and enable us to continue to deliver our high quality, long-term therapy service in the calm and quiet dedicated therapy centre we currently use. 

Share is a long-standing Sheffield charity providing therapy to those aged 18 and over, including those who are economically disadvantaged or who, for other reasons, cannot obtain such help elsewhere. Our sliding scale of fees ensures that your fee is realistic in relation to your income and is designed to give those on the lowest incomes access to good quality therapy at a fraction of the usual cost. 

Paying one of our higher rates?

For those earning higher incomes, our fees are still a little below the market rate in Sheffield. However, your money does much more than buy your own therapy. By paying one of our higher fees you are not only receiving a high quality therapeutic experience yourself, but are helping to fund sessions for those on low or no income. All without paying any extra for your therapy!

We have a long-established trusted reputation, specifically within the primary care and GP services, and offer you a quiet, informal atmosphere in our dedicated therapy building.

How can I support Share Psychotherapy?

By registering as one of our clients your fee will contribute to the running of our service. Those paying higher fees help us to subsidise those on low incomes. If you would like to support our service over and above your regular fee you can become a “friend of Share” and either contribute more per session you attend or make one off donations.  Any money we receive really does make a difference to keeping our service going & helping us to continue to contribute to the overall mental health & well-being of the people of Sheffield. 

Fees

Individual session fees are decided on a honesty system and range from £12.50 to £55 depending on your personal circumstances. Our application form provides more detail on how the fees are set and which one is right for you.

We charge up front at the start of each month for all the sessions in that month and payment can be made either by card or BACS. (We can accept cash in exception circumstances.)

We offer all our clients regular appointments, the same time and day each week. You appointment is booked for you every week and won’t be used by someone else when you are not there. This means we have to charge for all your appointments, including those sessions that clients miss for any reason, whether we are notified beforehand or not. If your therapist is unable to make the session, you will not be charged.
