Counselling in the Community

Room rental

A calm, professional therapy room — from £10 an hour.

Three modern hubs across Blackpool and Cleveleys. Book by the hour, no deposit, no long-term contract — and every pound you spend funds counselling for someone who couldn't otherwise afford it.

For the days the kitchen table won't do

Working from home is fine — until it isn't.

Family interrupts the session. The Wi-Fi drops mid-call. You spend fifteen minutes clearing the room before clients arrive and another fifteen putting it back. Couples don't fit. Group work is out of the question.

You can keep making it work — or you can show up to a room that's already set up the way your work needs it to be.

Three locations

Choose the hub that suits your clients.

Every hub is private, soundproofed and set up for client work. Pick the one closest to where you live or where your clients travel to.

Everything a session needs. Nothing you don't.

The honest answers

Common questions, answered.

Who can rent a room?
Qualified therapists, counsellors, coaches and similar professionals. We'll ask first-time hirers for proof of qualification and current insurance before confirming your first slot.
Do I need my own insurance?
Yes — public liability and professional indemnity insurance are required. CITC's insurance covers our own counsellors and the building, not work done by hirers.
What's the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your slot. Inside 48 hours we charge the full booking fee, since the room is unlikely to be re-let in time.
What's actually in the room?
Comfortable seating set up for client work, soundproofing, fast secure Wi-Fi, refreshments for you and your clients, and a kettle, fridge and toilet shared with the rest of the hub.
Can I get evening or weekend slots?
Most hubs run from 8am to 8pm. Cleveleys is open six days a week including some Saturdays. Submit the slot you want and we'll confirm what's possible.
How do I pay?
We invoice after each confirmed session. Bank transfer or card. No deposit, no upfront block bookings — only pay for the slots you actually use.

Pick a slot. We'll meet you there.

Three hubs across Blackpool and Cleveleys, from £10 an hour. Every booking funds counselling for someone in the community.
