ACCESSING SERVICES

Clients can contact me directly by telephone or email to discuss your needs and to arrange an initial appointment.

Clients may be referred privately by your GP, psychiatrist or hospital doctor. This service is not part of the NHS and these clients will usually be self-funding.

Client's private health care insurance provider may cover the cost of an assessment and/or therapy. A referral may be required from a psychiatrist or GP before the provider will cover the fees.

Clients can also be referred by solicitors and insurance companies for assessment and/or therapy, which is funded by compensation for their personal injury. Typically this service is paid for by an insurance company via the client's solicitor.
