If you have private healthcare insurance, it is our aim to assist you in arranging for the costs of your appointments to be covered under your insurance policy. Your insurance policy may not cover the full cost of each session and will inform you if a percentage of the costs are to be paid by you. In this case, you will be responsible for the payment of any fees not covered by your policy. Despite being covered under a medical insurance policy, please note the responsibility for payment lies with you.

Some insurance companies require that a formal referral is made from a GP or Psychiatrist to validate a claim to see a psychologist. In this case, we are able to assist you in pointing you in the direction of a number of specialist colleagues whom we work closely with and recommend. If you are unsure of the procedures adopted by your insurers, it is wise to contact them beforehand to check the percentage of cover under your policy and any necessary steps to be taken to preauthorise your sessions.
Please note: initial consultations for individual psychological therapy and coaching are charged at a higher rate than follow up appointments. We are able to negotiate reduced fees on a sliding scale depending on financial circumstances and can point you in the right direction towards colleagues who may offer lower rates.
