Spiral offers in person, low cost counselling and psychotherapy for those on low or no income, and our therapists in private practice offer counselling and psychotherapy for those on a higher income.
The counsellors, psychotherapists and complementary therapists at Spiral come from a variety of disciplines and trainings. What we have in common is that we all work holistically, honouring the interconnected nature of mind, body, heart and spirit. As well as considering thoughts and feelings, both of which may be experienced physically, we each hold a sense of something more, whether connection with nature, with energy, with shared humanity or with a deeper or higher power within or outside the self.
The therapists are from diverse backgrounds, and work with a wide range of therapeutic issues. We value and respect each person’s uniqueness, giving careful awareness to differing cultures and choices. We believe that understanding the marginalisation of people from minority groups is an important part of the therapeutic and holistic frame.
Spiral has high standards of professionalism. The therapists all hold insurance and adhere to the code of practice of their professional organisations. Many have been qualified for between 5 and 20 years, others have qualified more recently and some are in training on recognised diploma courses. What all share is depth of insight, self-awareness and sensitivity.
Low cost counselling
Spiral offers low cost counselling to adults (18 and over) on benefits or limited income. Some therapists are experienced trainees, and some are qualified. They offer shorter and longer term counselling and psychotherapy on a regular weekly basis at specific times.
All our therapists offering sessions on Spiral‘s low cost scheme are either student or full members of a professional therapy organisation, and work in accordance with their codes of ethics and practice. Each therapist meets regularly with one of Spiral’s experienced supervisors, to monitor the progress of the sessions and to ensure the highest professional standards. Both therapist and supervisor are bound by the professional ethics of confidentiality.
Within this confidential context, several of our therapists in training are required to tape record some or all of their sessions. No one will be required to have sessions recorded if they object, but it may mean a longer wait to see someone.
Fees are on a sliding scale between £11 and £60 per 50 minute session, depending on your circumstances. Fees are subject to occasional small increases. To keep fees low, payment is weekly, even for missed sessions, except on bank holidays or when the therapist is absent.
