Trauma and PTSD therapy in the Philippines: session prices and choices

Updated 4 November 2026

A private therapy session in the Philippines costs roughly ₱1,000 to ₱5,000. Counselors start from about ₱1,300, psychologists from ₱1,750 and psychiatry consultations from ₱2,150 per session. Some public care is free. To find a professional with current prices in your city, describe what you need in a BlaBlaPrice request.

Choosing the right professional

Counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists offer different kinds of help, and their prices differ. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can assess and prescribe medication, while counselors and psychologists focus on talk therapy. Ask which professional fits your situation, which therapy method they use, and how many sessions are usually needed. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services first.

Rules and qualifications to check

The results found no specific license named for trauma therapy, so the check is practical. Ask for the professional's registration and specialist training, and ask how much experience they have with trauma and PTSD. Ask also whether sessions can be held online as well as in person.

Season and climate

The climate is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons rather than winter and summer, so there are no cold months that change the need for therapy. Fit sessions around your work and, in the wet season, ask about online sessions so that travel does not stop you from attending.

How it is bought here

Therapy is sold per session. Follow-up sessions are often listed at a lower price than the first consultation, with follow-ups from about ₱1,500 in some listings. Compare prices in Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Cebu City and Davao City, and say which city you are in, because in-person sessions depend on where you live.

What to write in the request

Describe the reason or symptoms in general terms, whether the client is an adult or a child, the number of sessions you expect, your preferred method, your schedule and your city, and your budget per session. Sellers reply with their price, the session length and the terms.

On BlaBlaPrice the request is free for buyers. You describe it in your own words in the chat, and the AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the Philippines, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers receive the request and reply with their own offer. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them. You can look at psychologists or medical services on the site.
