Frequently asked questions

Q: Where do you work?

 

I provide online and telephone appointments, so can provide a session for you wherever you are!

 

Daytime and limited evening appointments are available. My clinic slots are usually Tuesday morning, afternoon and evening, Wednesday daytime, and Thursday daytime.

 

Q: Can I contact you to arrange an initial assessment?

 

Yes, you are very welcome to do that. I accept self-referred individuals as well as people who have been referred by their GPs, employers or via insurance companies. My contact details can be found here: Contact me.

 

Q: Will my therapy be paid for by my private health insurance or other party?

 

You will need to check with your health insurer before seeking therapy as not all health plans cover psychological therapies. Your employer might also fund your therapy.

 

I am registered with the following healthcare insurance companies: BUPA, Aviva, Axa PPP, Cigna, Pru Health, Simply Health and WPA. Please note that you will be personally liable to pay any excesses or shortfalls in  your treatment which are not covered by your policy.

 

Q: I'm not sure if my problem is suitable for therapy...

 

The best way is to email me with a brief outline of your difficulties and your therapy requirements. 

 

Q: How much do you charge?

 

A standard therapy session (50 minutes) varies in cost, depending on whether you are paying yourself or are funded by another source. Please email or ring me to find out more. 

 

Q: Do you see children and adolescents?

 

No, I specialise in adults who are aged 18 and over. However, I recommend that anyone seeking help for someone who is under 18 gets in touch with the Bristol Child Psychology Practice at http://bristolchildpsychologypractice.co.uk/ or Bristol Psychology Services at https://www.bristolpsychologyservices.co.uk/services/psychological-assessment-and-therapy-for-children-young-people-and-families.html.
