Counselling at Unmasked
Please Note: Support for Adults Only At this time
We currently offer two types of counselling support:
Low-Cost Counselling
Accessible, affordable counselling available to anyone — neurodivergent or not.
Delivered by qualified or final-year trainee counsellors, sessions are offered on a sliding scale, making support more affordable without long waiting lists.
Free Funded Counselling
Thanks to external funding, we offer a limited number of free counselling sessions for:
- Neurodivergent individuals
- Parents and carers of neurodivergent children or adults
These places are limited and prioritised based on need. If you’re ND or a carer and cost is a barrier, please get in touch to find out if you’re eligible.
What You Can Expect:
- A neuro-affirming, inclusive environment
- Counsellors who truly “get it”
- A person-centred, trauma-informed approach
- In-person or remote options depending on availability

Because mental health support should be for everyone — and neurodivergent people should never be left behind.
