Therapists & Counsellors in Peckham

There are 32 therapists and counsellors on The Therapist Finder who see clients in Peckham, most of them a short walk from Peckham Rye station. Every profile is checked against a professional register before it goes live, and almost everyone here is registered with the BACP.

What therapy costs in Peckham

Fees on this page run from £50 to £165 a session. Most sit between £70 and £90, and the middle of the range is £80. Six therapists start at £60 or less. Couples sessions usually cost more than individual ones. Each profile shows that therapist's own fee, and it is worth asking whether they have any lower-cost places. Our guide to therapy fees explains how Peckham compares with the rest of London and the UK.

Therapists in Peckham who work with anxiety

26 of the 32 therapists here list anxiety as something they work with, and 24 of them are taking new clients. Choose Anxiety in the filter below to see only them. They work in different ways. Some, including CBT therapists, work in a structured way on the thoughts and habits that keep anxiety going. Others, such as psychodynamic and integrative therapists, look more at where the anxiety comes from and what it might be about. Both can help, and how you feel with the person usually matters more than the method. Nine therapists here also work with couples, and you can see them on our page for couples therapy in Peckham.

Depression, trauma, grief and other difficulties

Most therapists here work with more than one difficulty. 25 list depression, 25 relationship problems, 23 trauma, 22 bereavement, 22 stress and 13 ADHD, and the filter below works for each of these. We also have separate pages on grief counselling in Peckham and trauma therapy in Peckham, which explain what those kinds of therapy involve.

Free therapy on the NHS: Talking Therapies Southwark

If you are 16 or over and live in Southwark or have a Southwark GP, you can refer yourself to Talking Therapies Southwark, the free NHS service run by South London and Maudsley. You don't need to see your GP first. You can refer online at talkingtherapiessouthwark.nhs.uk, call 020 3228 2194 (8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday), or ask your GP to refer you. You will usually be offered a telephone consultation within two weeks, and treatment usually starts one to six weeks after that. The service offers short, structured therapy for common problems such as anxiety and depression. If you would like longer-term therapy, or to choose your own therapist, private therapy is the other route.

If you need urgent help, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option, or call 999 in an emergency.
