You Deserve Support that Fits Your Budget
Life’s challenges don’t wait for the perfect financial moment. Whether you’re navigating work stress, relationship difficulties, or that persistent anxiety that keeps you awake at 3am, professional low cost counselling shouldn’t be out of reach.
At Mind and Body Works, we’ve created a dedicated, low-cost counselling service because we believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health support — regardless of their financial situation.
How Our Low Cost Service Works
For €30 per session, you’ll work with a trainee therapist who genuinely understands what you’re going through.
Your sessions run weekly at the same time, providing the crucial consistency many of us need when working through difficult periods. Think of it as your regular Tuesday morning reset, or your Thursday afternoon breathing space — whatever works for your schedule. Most of our affordable slots are during the earlier part of the day, which suits many students, part-timers, and flexible workers perfectly.
There’s no limit on how many sessions you can have. Some people find clarity in six weeks; others need longer to untangle years of accumulated stress. You set the pace. When you feel ready to wrap up, just let your therapist know — they’ll help you prepare for that transition too.
Who is this Service For?
Originally, we designed this for students surviving on beans on toast, part-time workers juggling multiple responsibilities, and anyone whose income has taken a hit. But we understand that even with a full-time salary, Dublin’s cost of living can leave little room for “extras” — even when those extras are essential to your wellbeing.
If you’re over 18 and need support, you’re eligible.
Perhaps you’re dealing with:
- That Sunday night dread before another week at a job that’s grinding you down
- The aftermath of a relationship ending (or the exhausting cycle of one that should)
- Family tensions that leave you feeling like you’re walking on eggshells
- Grief that hits you in waves when you least expect it
- Depression that makes even small tasks feel mountainous
- Anxiety that has you catastrophising about conversations from three years ago
Whatever’s weighing on you, it’s valid. And it’s worth addressing

What is the Background of my Counsellor
The Reality of Starting Therapy
You might worry that your problems aren’t “serious enough” for counselling. That somehow you should be able to sort yourself out with a self-help book and some deep breathing. But here’s the thing — if it’s affecting your daily life, if you’re struggling more days than not, if you catch yourself thinking “this isn’t how I want to feel” — therapy may be able to help.
Therapy isn’t about lying on a couch dissecting your childhood (unless that’s what you need). It’s practical. It’s collaborative. It’s about understanding why you react the way you do, and gradually building better ways to cope.
Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. Sometimes you’ll leave a session feeling lighter than you have in months. Sometimes you might bring something you didn’t even know was bothering you. All of it is part of the process.
Making it Work Financially
We know €30 per week is still a commitment. That’s €120 a month — not nothing when you’re watching every euro.
If €30 feels impossible right now, reach out to us and let us know. We may be able to agree on a fee that is more in line with your current budget. In cases where this is not possible, we can point you towards other resources.
