Why Therapy Costs What It Does
Dear You,
If you’ve ever wondered why therapy feels like a significant investment, you’re not alone. It’s a valid question — and it deserves a thoughtful response.
Therapists go through years of education, rigorous training, and personal therapy themselves. Even after qualifying, we continue to invest in supervision, workshops, certifications, books, and memberships — not just for knowledge, but to stay grounded, ethical, and truly helpful.

Therapy also isn’t the kind of work that can be done non-stop. Because we hold emotional space for others, we must also create space to rest and recharge. When therapists take breaks, we don’t earn — but we pause to ensure we can continue offering care that is fully present and attuned.
There are also the behind-the-scenes costs of running a private practice: renting a space, maintaining a website, secure communication tools, admin systems — all necessary to offer a safe and professional experience.
But beyond all of this, I invite you to ask yourself gently:
What is it worth to feel more at peace? To break long-held patterns? To live with more clarity and self-compassion?
Therapy isn’t just about one session. It’s about a process that slowly but deeply transforms how you live, love, and show up in the world.
You’re not just paying for time. You’re investing in your own healing — and in the kind of life you want to build.
With care,
Your Therapist
