What is The Nest Club?

The Nest Club is a mental health service offering therapy to individuals and couples. Too often feelings of ‘I’m exhausted’ and ‘I don’t feel myself’ are dismissed as a side effect of parenthood. The taboo around couples therapy still prevails, whilst we normalise loveless marriage. It’s ok not to feel ok, but we want more people to get the help they need. We’re here to help.

Who is The Nest Club for?

At The Nest Club we support people through the difficult life junctions in life. We offer therapy to individuals and couples over 18. Our area of specialty is supporting people going through fertility treatment, through pregnancy, as new parents, as couples throughout their lifetime. We treat mild to moderate mental health concerns and will refer any acute cases. If you are being supported by Community Mental Health Services or receiving treatment for acute mental health issues, please do speak in the first instance to the relevant agency for advice and further support.

How much does it cost?

For individuals sessions start at £35 for a 50-minute session with an honorary counsellor or psychotherapist and from £55 for an accredited/registered therapist. Every honorary therapist has regular supervision with a senior psychotherapist and is enrolled in a course that offers the highest level of training registration/accreditation. Couple’s sessions start at £50 for an honorary psychotherapist and £70 for a fully registered/accredited couples therapist.

How many sessions will I/we need?

It’s one of the most frequently asked questions and one of the most difficult to answer. We work with clients as individuals and couples short term and long term and the number of sessions needed will depend on so many factors it’s difficult to say up front. More often than not, as the work progresses, it will become clear when you feel like you are in a better place and time for you and your therapist to work towards an ending.

Where does therapy happen?

Therapy sessions happen online and your therapist will send you a video call link before the first session which will be used for each session. Ensuring that you have a good wifi connection and a quiet space where you are free to talk is really important.

Can I contact my therapist in between sessions?

It is possible to contact your therapist by email or text if you want to cancel or change a session. Other than that contact between you and your therapist between sessions is discouraged. If you feel you need urgent help contact www.samaritans.org or 116 123 (UK) or call A&E

Is therapy at The Nest Club confidential?

All therapy sessions are confidential and trust is of paramount importance to the therapist/client relationship. We adhere strictly to the ethical framework of the BACP and each therapist will be fully versed on understanding safely and risk. As is standard in a therapy contract there might be certain circumstances where the therapist may have to consider breaking a client’s confidence for their own safety if for example there is a risk of harm to the client or another. All therapists discuss their caseload in the confidential setting of supervision.
