Donation Guidelines
It has always been our aim to offer professional quality counselling for anyone
in need on a
donation-only basis. To allow this distinctive service to continue, we would like you to
consider
these guidelines
We seek a respectful financial relationship with each person in light of their own individual circumstances.
We don't want anyone prevented from receiving help for financial reasons.
As people have often asked for specific guidelines we hope you will find this helpful.
We would ask you to consider these amounts for donations
| On benefit / state pension / students | around £5 per session |
| A family income of £10,000 - £25,000 a year | around £10-25 per session |
| a family income of over £25,000 a year | around £25-40 per session |
Please consider these as guideline
figures. We recognise that some people will be in a
position to give more and others less.
Sessions are usually on a monthly basis, though there can be some flexibility in this.
In our experience donating at an appropriate level
has a positive therapeutic connection, in that those who do so are very likely
to make good progress, as they
are putting a reasonable value
on their counselling and respecting themselves,
their counsellor and Reach in doing this.
