The Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) is a professional body for Jungian analysts and psychotherapists. It has four main activities: - training new analysts and psychotherapists - registering and supporting members - providing a low-fee clinic - running events and conferences, both for professional clinicians and the public.
Members offer psychotherapy and analysis to people who are in distress or have emotional problems, as well as to those who feel a lack of fulfilment or seek an exploration of meaning in their lives.

Services Offered
A consultation service is available for people who wish to explore whether psychotherapy or analysis would be helpful. During the consultation, you will have an opportunity to talk about yourself and your difficulties and consider what form of therapy would be most helpful for you. The consultation may involve one session or extend to two if necessary. Whilst sessions for therapy and analysis last 50 minutes, the meeting for a first consultation will usually be longer, perhaps between one hour and an hour and a quarter.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
