Bath Mind offers a low cost, affordable counselling service for individuals aged 18 and over who are seeking support through talking therapies. Our counselling services are available at a convenient location in Bath city centre. We offer up to 12 weeks of individual counselling which takes place at the same time each week. Â
Counselling offers a supportive, one-to-one space for you to reflect on issues that are important to you, grow in self-awareness, and engage in making positive changes if you need to. Â
Counselling has been life changing. I am no longer feeling constantly worried and I know I am not alone. My therapist was magical.
The service is open Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 9am – 4pm. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer appointments outside of these days and times. Â
After you have completed the online referral form below, your referral form will then be reviewed by one of our practitioners and you will be contacted by email with an appointment for a telephone assessment. The assessment will last around 45 minutes. Â
During your assessment we will take some information about your overall health and wellbeing. We will also ask what you are currently struggling with. If during your assessment we feel that other services may be more suitable for your needs, we will signpost you to them. Â
After your telephone assessment, if we have mutually agreed that the Bath Mind counselling is suitable for your needs, there will be a short waiting period before you are offered a regular appointment. Regular appointments can be either face-to-face in Bath or online over Teams and will be at the same time each week, for up to 12 weeks. Â
We ask that you contribute weekly towards the cost of your sessions. The amount is tailored to individual circumstances. This contribution will be agreed upon between yourself and one of our practitioners during the initial assessment.
We ask that you pay a minimum contribution of £20 per session. Sometimes for clients who are able too, they may choose to contribute more, up to the value of £50 per session.
Bath Mind recognise that for some people, £20 per week is not affordable. Bath Mind work in partnership with St John’s Foundation who offer a means tested grant to help cover the cost of counselling for those individuals who feel they are unable to contribute £20 per week towards the costs of the counselling.
If you would like to be considered for this, this can be discussed with a practitioner during your assessment.
Once your weekly session amount is agreed with your counsellor, you can contribute online using the link below. You are also able to give cash during your session.
