Low-Cost Counselling in Croydon
If you’re looking for affordable counselling in Croydon or the surrounding areas, Care To Listen is here to support you. We are a registered charity (No. 1215028) providing professional and accessible counselling services, either in person at our Addiscombe location or online.
As a trusted, well-established local counselling service, we support individuals and couples seeking low-cost counselling and therapy within their community. You can access a range of talking therapies in a confidential, non-judgemental environment where you have the space to explore what you are experiencing at your own pace.
Since 2007, our experienced team of counsellors has supported people from a wide range of backgrounds. Our aim is simple - to make counselling accessible and affordable for people who need emotional and mental health support, regardless of their financial circumstances or background.


Our Counselling Services & Approach
Finding the right type of counselling can depend on what you are experiencing, what you would like to explore and how you prefer to work. Our counselling services in Croydon include a range of talking therapies, giving you different ways to explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships and experiences.
You can access one-to-one counselling, psychodynamic counselling, couples therapy and couples counselling, as well as our neuro-affirmative counselling service. Our wider therapeutic approaches also include CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), helping us provide different options according to your needs.
Our affordable counselling services support people experiencing anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, stress, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties, alongside a range of other emotional and mental health concerns. Whether you are dealing with a specific difficulty or simply feel that you would benefit from having somewhere confidential to talk, counselling can give you the opportunity to explore what is happening with the support of a counsellor.
Care To Listen provides both in-person and online therapy, making our service more accessible to people with different circumstances and preferences. If you are unsure which type of counselling may be appropriate for you, an initial assessment gives you an opportunity to discuss your circumstances and the support available.
Between 2016 and 2026, Care To Listen also worked alongside South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust to deliver Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), also known as Croydon Talking Therapies.
Affordable and Accessible Counselling in Croydon
Cost should not automatically prevent you from exploring counselling. As a charity provider of low-cost counselling, Care To Listen aims to make therapy available to people who may find the cost of private counselling difficult to manage.
