Our therapy is low cost, long-term and lasts between 12 and 24 months for each client. We specifically aim to help people who cannot afford, or cannot access, therapy anywhere else.

Share was established in 1967 and has been through several changes since then. It began by providing counselling to young people with drug addiction. In 1975 it became Share Psychotherapy and our original mission statement “to offer psychotherapy at as low a cost as possible to those who are economically disadvantaged or for other reasons cannot obtain such help elsewhere” is still true today.

Therapy is not offered on a ‘first come, first serve’ basis, but rather based on your needs and the availability of our therapists. We are very careful to accurately match your needs with the therapist who would be your best fit. This does mean you may be waiting some time before accessing therapy. While we cannot give estimates as to how long this will be, it’s very helpful if you have good availability - you can let us know this on your application form.

We are dedicated to excellence.

Last year we provided over 4000 hours of therapy to over 200 clients on low incomes and continued our role as a training and learning institution, supporting 32 trainee therapists through our placement programme as well as 10 qualified volunteer therapists through CPD provision.
