CCPE is offering assessments for psychotherapy to the public.

Adults 18+
Anyone wishing to book an appointment should email info@ccpe.org.uk and request a call back, please include your phone number or call 0202 7266 3006 to book a face to face assessment. You will then be referred to one of our senior assessors who will make an appointment with you to speak by video link, on the phone or in person at CCPE in Little Venice. The assessor will then refer you to a psychotherapist who will make the necessary arrangements to hold regular sessions with you.  Assessments are a cost of £60 and regular sessions cost £60 and upwards, you will be able to discuss what you can afford with the assessor.

Children, adolescents and parents or carers needing support
We are currently unable to offer assessments for children and adolescents.  If you wish to book an assessment (when we next have availability), please email info@ccpe.org.uk and request a call back, please include your phone number.  The initial assessment will cost £60.

We are able to currently offer low cost referrals to trainees for therapy for children aged 4 to 18 via our FreshSteps charity. As part of the assessment process, the fully qualified assessor will need to consider the suitability of the child for therapy with a student. The assessment and the therapy will be in person. Therapy is delivered by students on our Masters program in Transpersonal Child, Adolescent & Family therapy. They are fully supervised. The initial assessment will require the parents/carers to be involved. If you wish to book an assessment, please email info@ccpe.org.uk and request a call back, please include your phone number. The initial assessment will cost £60. Low cost therapy is £35 a session. For clients in need this may be able to be further.

Whether you are considering a training with us or seeking help through psychotherapy, we hope our site answers most of the questions you may have. If not, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Since our establishment in 1984, we have grown to be the largest training centre for transpersonal psychotherapy in the UK, offering a range of accredited professional counselling and psychotherapy training programmes with a transpersonal and integrative orientation. We are occupying a seven storey Regency building on the banks of the Grand Union Canal in Little Venice, London.

All our courses are run by staff who are UKCP registered psychotherapists and are committed to sound ethical practice. The courses have no particular affiliations to any dogma, religion or philosophy and are open to all those sincerely interested in the field of counselling and psychotherapy from a spiritual perspective. CCPE promotes equal opportunities for students, clients and staff.

We also provide clinical services through some 100 practising therapists at CCPE. In addition we run a drop-in centre at The Caravan at St. James' Church, Piccadilly. The drop-in offers a core service of listening and emotional support, which can – by arrangement – evolve into counselling.

CCPE is a Member Organisation of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), providing accredited trainings for counsellors and psychotherapists.
