These are self-pay fees. If you are claiming on private health insurance, sessions are billed to your insurer at a separate rate, which can be higher. What you pay depends on your policy, and I will confirm the figure with you before the first session.
Your insurance may cover this
I am recognised by AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality, WPA, Allianz and IPRS Health. If you hold a policy with any of them, therapy may already be paid for. It is usually one phone call to your insurer before you book.
Weighing up whether it is worth it?
There is a separate tool that puts these fees next to what research suggests brief therapy gives back. It shows its assumptions instead of hiding them, and it needs no sign-up.
Open the toolQuestions about paying
- Do I pay before or after the session?
- Payment confirms the booking and secures the slot. The exception is insurance, where the claim is authorised first and I invoice your insurer.
- How many sessions will I need?
- The work is brief and focused by design. Some people get what they came for in one or two sessions. Others use a longer block. I will tell you plainly when I think we have reached a natural stopping point rather than letting it run on.
- Is the first call really free?
- Yes. Fifteen minutes, no cost and no obligation. It is not a therapy session, it is to work out whether this is the right fit for you.
- What if I need to cancel?
- Let me know as early as you can and we will rearrange. Cancellation terms are in the booking confirmation.
Not sure which session you need?
Book a free 15-minute call. We can work out what would actually help, and there is no cost and no obligation.
