Affordable Counselling in Dublin

Making Mental Health Support Accessible

Looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health. Yet for many people, the cost of counselling can feel like a barrier. At LifeChange Psychotherapy & Counselling in Dublin, we believe that support should be within reach for everyone. That’s why we offer low-cost counselling options designed to make high-quality therapy more accessible to students, people on low income, or anyone going through financial difficulty.

Why Affordable Counselling Matters

Therapy is not a luxury — it’s a space where you can be heard, understood, and supported through life’s challenges. Affordable counselling means that you don’t have to choose between your well-being and your budget. By reducing financial pressure, we make it easier for you to focus on what really matters: your growth, your healing, and your relationships.

At LifeChange, our low-cost counselling sessions are usually around €30, provided by therapists in training or recently qualified therapists working toward professional accreditation. All are carefully supervised, insured, and bring both professional skills and valuable life experience.

Who Can Benefit?

• Students managing stress, anxiety, or big life transitions
• People who are unemployed or on low income who need ongoing support
• Anyone seeking a safe space to process emotions, explore challenges, or simply talk things through

Some of our therapists and counsellors work on a sliding scale, meaning fees are adjusted based on your circumstances. The goal is simple: no one should feel excluded from therapy because of cost.

Other Free Services in Dublin

We understand that sometimes even reduced fees can be too much. For those who truly cannot afford therapy, there are free services available in Dublin, such as:

• HSE Mental Health Services
• National Counselling Service (HSE)
• Aware – offering free support groups and up to 8 CBT sessions
• Turn2Me – six free online counselling sessions

These organisations provide valuable support, and we encourage you to explore them if cost is the only thing stopping you from seeking help.

Our Commitment at LifeChange

Even if you are not in a position to work with us right now, we want you to know that support exists and you are not alone. For those who can access our affordable services, LifeChange offers:

• A warm, compassionate environment
• Professional, humanistic therapists
• A focus on building connection and resilience
• Practical tools for navigating life’s challenges

Your mental health matters — regardless of your financial situation. At LifeChange, our mission is to make therapy accessible, supportive, and respectful of where you are in life. Whether you choose our low-cost counselling programme or explore one of Dublin’s free resources, the most important step is reaching out.
