Apply for Reduced Cost Therapy.
At The Mental Health Hub, we understand that access to mental health services is essential, and we are committed to making therapy affordable for everyone. If you are experiencing personal hardship, you may be eligible for our reduced cost therapy program. Below, you'll find detailed information on how to apply, eligibility criteria, and what to expect from the process.
How it works.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for reduced-cost therapy at The Mental Health Hub, applicants must demonstrate significant vulnerability. Factors considered include financial hardship, employment status, receipt of government benefits, housing stability, and debt levels. We also assess mental and physical health, support networks, caregiving responsibilities, and major life changes. There is no one-size-fits-all approach; eligibility is prioritised based on individual needs rather than the order in which applications are received. Each application is reviewed carefully and confidentially to ensure fair eligibility determination. If deemed eligible, you will be allocated a minimum of 6 sessions or a maximum of 12 sessions over a 6-12 week period. Sessions take place weekly online.
Supporting Evidence
To ensure that we can offer the most appropriate support, we may require supporting evidence to verify your eligibility for reduced-cost or free therapy. Acceptable types of supporting evidence include recent financial statements, payslips, bank statements, proof of income, details of government benefits received (such as Universal Credit or housing benefits), and documentation related to significant life changes or health conditions (e.g., medical reports or letters from healthcare providers). Providing this information helps us accurately assess your situation and determine the level of support you qualify for. Rest assured that all documentation will be handled with the highest degree of confidentiality and sensitivity. Our aim is to ensure that you receive the assistance you need without unnecessary delays, and that we tailor our support to your individual circumstances.
Costs
At The Mental Health Hub, we strive to make therapy accessible and affordable for everyone. Our standard therapy sessions are competitively priced at £37.50 per session to ensure high-quality care remains within reach. For those who demonstrate significant financial hardship through our eligibility criteria, we offer reduced-cost therapy options on a sliding scale ranging from £15 to £32.50 per session. Additionally, we offer a small and select number of completely free subsidised support sessions for those in the most critical need. The exact cost of therapy sessions varies based on individual circumstances and the level of support required. Our goal is to provide flexible pricing that aligns with each person's ability to pay, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent anyone from receiving the mental health support they need.
What to expect
After we review your application and supporting evidence, you can expect a response within 5-7 working days. If you qualify for reduced-cost or free therapy, we will provide details on costs and available appointment times. We will also match you with one of our experienced therapists who best fits your needs and help you schedule your sessions. If you do not meet the criteria, we will guide you to alternative resources and support options. Throughout the process, we are committed to clear communication and timely assistance, ensuring you receive the support you need with compassion and professionalism.
