Fees

Do you offer a free consultation?

I am happy to give you a quick call prior to booking in an initial appointment, just to answer any questions and for your mind to be put at ease ahead of our first meeting.

How many sessions might I need?

It depends on what you’re working on. CBT is structured and goal-focused, and many people notice some benefit within a few sessions, though how quickly things change depends on the individual. Straightforward difficulties often take fewer sessions than long-standing or complex ones. We’d review progress together regularly, so you’re never left guessing.

Can I claim through my insurer?

Many policies cover CBT, but it depends on your policy wording, so it’s worth checking your cover before you book. I’m approved by AXA PPP, Aviva, Cigna and Healix, and happy to support insurance funded sessions.

Other ways to make it more affordable

• Check your employer. Some workplaces offer an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) with free or subsidised sessions.
• Consider the NHS. NHS Talking Therapies is free and excellent, and it may be the right starting point for you. I’m a big supporter of the NHS, having worked in it myself. To read more about choosing between the two, head to Private CBT or NHS Talking Therapies?
