Triggering (Abuse) - How much does a psychologist cost?

NewBeginning84 · 13-10-2008, 12:37 AM

Hi All

I am really deeply depressed and hate ppl when they are sneezing because I do not want to get a cold or flu. I have nothing against you guys but I think I need to talk to a professional psychologist as I need professional help because I am very close to committing suicide as what ever I do in life it always goes wrong career or in private life, I must be cursed.

Could you tell me how much it would cost to see a psychologist please?
Many thanks for reading this and maybe replying to it.

Being in the UK you shouldn't have to pay for it unless you go private.

Yep, it should be free in the UK.

For those in the US though who are wondering: You can often find clinics that work on a sliding pay scale.

To go in the UK I think you need to be referred by your GP, so maybe think about getting an appointment with him/her?

But to give a little perspective - I'm in private therapy now, and it costs me £25 per hour, although that's with a student discount; I think my counsellor normally charges £30/£35 per hour.
