Counselling

Free and Subsidised Counselling

Thanks to the support The Spark receives from our funding partners and donors we can offer some services for free or at a reduced rate.

Fast Access Single-Session Therapy


Fast access single-session therapy is a form of solution-focused counselling for individuals that lasts for a single session. Although more help is available after the session if needed. The sessions are highly focused on a specific issue of concern with the goal of helping you identify your next steps to meaningfully address the issue. Because there is only one session to organise, we are often able to offer fast access single-session therapy sessions very quickly.

Fast access single-session therapy sessions take place online and are currently free for individuals 18+. Find out more about fast access single-session therapy and schedule an appointment.

Subsidised counselling


PLEASE NOTE: due to a change in our funding we are no longer able to offer ongoing counselling for free. We are still able to offer low-cost subsidised counselling sessions.

We believe everyone should have access to counselling if needed. Couples and individuals who may benefit from therapy can access online or in-person counselling. Ongoing counselling is a fee-based service, however, thanks to our donors and funders some subsidised counselling sessions are available to those living in Scotland.

These reduced rate therapy sessions are available to book via our appointments team by completing the form below. Alternatively, freephone 0808 802 2088 during our opening hours for more information and support.

The Spark will be closed from 9pm 19 December until 6 January 2025. We will respond to your enquiry on our return.
