One of the first questions many couples ask before starting therapy is how much it costs. It is completely natural to want to understand the financial side before making any decisions. The good news is that couples counselling is often more affordable than people expect , and at Relationship Counselling Kent, our pricing is clear, consistent, and the same for every therapist.
The Average Cost of Couples Counselling in the UK
Across the UK, couples therapy typically costs between £60 and £100 per session, depending on the therapist’s experience, location, and qualifications. Some London-based practices charge even more. Here in Kent, our goal is to provide professional, high-quality support at a fair and accessible rate.
Our Fees
We charge a flat rate of £80 for a couples session and £68 for an individual session. Each session lasts for one hour, whether held face to face at one of our Kent practices or online via Zoom.
We believe therapy should be accessible without long contracts or hidden costs, so you can book sessions one at a time and pay as you go.
At Relationship Counselling Kent, all our therapists are fully qualified and highly experienced in working with couples, so you can feel confident that you are receiving quality support at a fair price.
What Your Fee Includes
Your session fee covers a full hour of dedicated time with your therapist in a calm, confidential setting. It also includes the therapist’s preparation time before and after each session, ensuring that your experience is thoughtful and tailored to your needs.
There are no registration fees or long-term commitments — just a straightforward pay-per-session structure designed to fit around your schedule and budget.
Can We Try One Session First?
Yes, of course. Many couples like to start with one session to see how it feels. You can then decide whether to continue on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Our goal is to make counselling approachable and flexible, so you can move at a pace that feels comfortable.
How to Book
All first sessions are booked directly online through our website. Simply choose your therapist, view their live availability, and select a time that suits you both. Once you have booked, you will receive a confirmation email with all the details you need.
After your first appointment, your therapist will work with you to find days and times that fit around your schedules. You are not tied to the same day or time each week, unless you prefer to be — and your therapist will send you a personal rebooking link to make scheduling future sessions quick and easy.
Face-to-Face or Online Sessions — The Choice Is Yours
We offer both in-person and online sessions, and the cost is exactly the same. You can choose whichever option feels most comfortable or convenient for you.
Our face-to-face sessions take place at welcoming, confidential practices across Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Maidstone, and Folkestone. For those who prefer the flexibility of online therapy, Zoom sessions offer the same level of privacy and support from the comfort of your own home.
Investing in Your Relationship
It can be easy to focus on the cost of counselling without thinking about the value it brings. For most couples, the benefits go far beyond the sessions themselves, improved communication, reduced tension, greater understanding, and renewed connection. Seen that way, it is one of the most positive investments you can make together.
Book Your First Session
Sessions are available seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm, with experienced relationship therapists across Kent. You can book your first session online quickly and securely.
