Affordable therapy is a commitment to providing high-quality counselling services at a cost that works within your budget. It’s about breaking down financial barriers so you can focus on healing, growth, and personal well-being. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, ADHD, relationship challenges, or grief, affordable therapy ensures you can access the care you need without added financial pressures.
We understand that life’s challenges don’t wait for the “right time” or the “perfect circumstances.” Often, people put off seeking help because they feel therapy is beyond their financial reach. At Daru Therapy Centre, we’re here to change that narrative.
Our goal is to create a safe, supportive space for every client, regardless of income level. Mental health care is a human right, not a luxury, and we aim to meet you where you are—financially, emotionally, and mentally.

Our Intern therapists work under supervision.

We all have the right to lead our best lives! I understand that taking this first step may seem overwhelming, but I assure you that you will be met with acceptance, empathy and genuineness. Together we will break down the barriers to focus on the here and now of your story. Let’s take it one step at a time.
