ACCORD Dublin is a registered charity which receives financial support from both TUSLA and the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. There is no set fee for a counselling hour as our preference is for people to use the service if they need it. However ACCORD Dublin does rely heavily on client donations in order to cover overheads. Your counsellor will be happy to discuss with you a level of donation that you are comfortable with.
