For existing clients, if you need more support from a therapist than you can currently afford, you can take a break from your work with your primary counsellor and do some reduced-rate counselling to ensure you continue with your work. If you’d like, and only with your written consent, your reduced-rate counsellor can keep your primary counsellor up to date, so it can be a more seamless transition if and when you return to working together. Similarly, if you wish, and only with your written consent, your primary counsellor can provide some background to your reduced-rate counsellor. However, there are advantages to just being there in the moment, without any background or context to the work you’ve been doing, so we encourage you to talk your decision over with your counsellor.
