Low Cost Donation based Therapy Sessions 

As well as providing Private Therapy Sessions with Individual Therapists

We have an option of Low-Cost Sessions with SCS

Swansea Counselling Service (SCS)

​

Swansea Counselling Service is a not-for-profit organisation led by

Volunteer counsellors who are registered with BACP or NCPS.

​

Sessions are available to people 18 years + who live in Swansea and are on low income/welfare benefits (criteria apply).

SCS provides a quality support service for those who might otherwise struggle to afford 

therapy with private practitioners. 

A limited course of sessions is offered which limits the extent of the therapy focus we are able to work with.  An initial consultation will also help those making an enquiry find out more about our service and whether it will suit for their individual therapy requirements, needs and suitability of the extent of therapy service we can offer.

​

Swansea Counselling Service supports student counsellors gaining their hours of practice; clients may be allocated to a student counsellor.

​

Clients are expected to contribute a donation for each session, which will be discussed 

upon initial contact with their counsellor.

Session Cost with SCS

SCS is a non-profit-making organisation. Our counsellors provide therapy on a voluntary basis and receive no payment for their time or expenses. We are dependent on the financial contribution our clients make towards their therapy, which is in the form of a donation. All donations will go towards the rental cost of the rooms, telephone expenses, and supervision.  Donations are received prior, or during a session in cash or by bank transfer (BACS).

​

The required donation per session is a low rate, and for clients who have limited income. For example, if you are unemployed, a student, retired, or are working and are receiving certain benefits, such as Universal Credit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Housing Benefit, or Pension Credit.

​

How to access Low Rate Sessions in Swansea

We offer our service to anyone who lives in Swansea and is 18 years or older, regardless of outlook, religious persuasion, nationality, or sexual orientation.

Sessions are available to people 18 years + who live in Swansea and are on low income/welfare benefits, and subject to the depth and length of therapy work we can offer with our resources (criteria applies).

​

Individuals may refer themselves and can contact SCS for an appointment.  After an initial referral, one of our counsellors will contact you to arrange a suitable time.  Sessions last for 50 minutes and take place in our therapy centre in Swansea (or by other means such as telephone or online), usually every week.
