What we offer
Outcast Psychology provides 50-minute online consultations and individual therapy for ages 16+, and clinical supervision to trainee and qualified therapists. All services use our sliding‑scale fees to make psychological care more accessible and sustainable for both clients and therapists.
Our services
-
All new clients begin with a psychological consultation. Consultations involve an assessment and formulation of your experiences. Assessment means building a fuller picture of what is going on, looking at your current difficulties, your history, and what may be contributing to how things feel. Formulation means making sense of that picture together, looking at patterns, relationships, experiences and circumstances to develop a shared understanding of why things may feel the way they do. It allows us to think together about what kind of support might be most helpful. For some people, one consultation is enough as a one‑off space to reflect and think about next steps. For others, it becomes the starting point for ongoing therapy.
-
Individual therapy offers ongoing support tailored to your needs and goals. It builds on the shared understanding developed in the consultation and creates space for deeper therapeutic work over time.
We usually recommend weekly sessions to begin with, to help us get to know each other, develop a clearer sense of what we’re working on and how, and establish some momentum. We’re also open to fortnightly sessions where that supports your access to therapy.
Where regular appointments are not immediately available, you may be offered ad‑hoc sessions until the therapist has a regular slot for you. We will only suggest this if we feel this way of working is safe and appropriate for what you are seeking support with.
-
Individual clinical supervision is available for trainee and qualified therapists, supporting safe, ethical and reflective therapeutic work. Supervision is offered by practitioner psychologists with core training in person‑centred therapy and CBT, and experience integrating other approaches such as compassion‑focused therapy, schema therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. All supervisors at Outcast Psychology choose to work with us because they align with our ethos and values around access, inclusivity and socially just practice.
All services cost £130 per 50-minute appointment. Extended sessions are available where relevant.
Prices are adjusted accordingly.
Using a Sliding-Scale Approach
Considering Your Monthly Budget & Session Frequency
We understand that salary figures tell only part of the story. We encourage you to look at your whole financial landscape to choose the fee that feels genuinely honest and fair for your situation. Because we operate entirely on a trust-based system, we don’t ask for proof of income. Instead, we trust you to honestly self-assess your financial reality.
Clients have found it helpful to look at their total monthly therapy budget alongside how often they attend sessions to work out session costs that are sustainable for themselves as well as the practice.
Where it is clinically appropriate for your therapeutic journey, spacing your sessions out can often make paying closer to the standard fee more manageable. For example:
Attending weekly sessions at £65 or fortnightly sessions at £130 both equate to £260 per month.
Contributing a slightly higher per-session fee at a lower frequency is also a profoundly kind contribution to our community ecosystem. It directly supports the financial sustainability of our practitioners while actively keeping weekly £40 slots open for those who may need the consistency of weekly care. Looking at your monthly budget may help you find a fee that is genuinely sustainable for both you and the practice.
If you are unsure which fee feels right for you, you're welcome to mention this when you get in touch so we can think through it together.
Why are fees set up this way?
Many private practices keep reduced‑fee work to a small number of spaces. Outcast Psychology is set up differently, with a clear fee structure designed so that reduced rates and industry standard rates sit alongside each other across the practice, rather than access being limited to a few places.
Our intention is to make therapy with a psychologist more financially realistic for a wider range of people, while also ensuring that therapists can stay well enough resourced to offer thoughtful, high‑quality work over time.
