Highbury Counselling Centre

We envision a world where psychodynamic and psychoanalytic counselling is accessible to everyone. By hiring our spaces, you’re helping us make this a reality.

Based in Highbury (Finsbury Park), our doors are open to everyone across London. We believe that counselling should not be a luxury or exclusive, and we aim to make therapy affordable for everyone, irrespective of ability to pay. We operate a sliding scale, with fees starting from a minimum of £20 per session.

Hiring our spaces ensures the long-term sustainability of this service, allowing us to continue to offer accessible counselling to as many people in London as possible. We don’t use the profits from hiring our rooms for commercial gain. Instead, every pound is directed back into the local community, helping us expand our mental health support across London.

At Highbury Counselling Centre, we’re passionate about making mental health support accessible for all. We’re determined to continue to provide high-quality, low-cost and long-term counselling irrespective of ability to pay, and for as long as people need it.

Choose Highbury Counselling Centre (HCC) to enjoy versatile rooms and the knowledge that you are helping to provide affordable counselling for those who need it most.
