The Cambridge Society for Psychotherapy offers psychotherapy to adults, young people, children, and couples. Low-cost therapy can be arranged; this is usually with a trainee whose work is closely supervised. We provide psychotherapy training in accordance with UKCP standards. We think of the Society as a learning community rather than a course, and encourage students to create their own encounter with the field.
Supervision for psychotherapists and counsellors is also available. The Society publishes OUTWRITE, an in-house, edited journal comprising submissions from students, ordinary and associate members. OUTWRITE is available in both hard copy and online formats.

The Society formed in 1980 and arose out of discussions about how people might best be educated for the work of psychotherapy. Early on we acquired the formal name of Cambridge Society for Psychotherapy. More commonly we have always been known, affectionately, as the 'Outfit'. Originally coined, somewhat jokingly, as an in-house anti-name, this escaped into general usage.
We offer psychotherapy for adults, young people, children and couples. Our theoretical roots are psychoanalytic but our interests and emphases are diverse; we do not define ourselves by adherence to a particular school of thought. Psychotherapy aims to move at the right pace for each person. Patient and therapist meet weekly, or more frequently, usually for 50-minute sessions.
We are committed to offering low-cost psychotherapy and as such, a range of lower fees is therefore available for those on lower incomes. Some trained members of the Cambridge Society for Psychotherapy offer low-cost slots but low-cost therapy is predominantly undertaken by trainee psychotherapists in the later stages of their training.
Can I first have a consultation to find out more? Yes, you can. During this session you and your therapist address questions that you may have and/or decide whether you would be able to work together. How much does it cost? Most members charge between 35 and 60 per session. Lower cost therapy can also be arranged.
In 1980, Margaret Farrell, David Ingleby, Lucy King and Peter Lomas founded the Cambridge Society for Psychotherapy. The Society arose out of discussions about how people might best be educated for the work of psychotherapy. These conversations put the notion of training itself into question and this has remained a constant concern of the Society.
