If you have health insurance, you may be able to use it to fund your therapy sessions. This will depend on the policy you have. It is usually referred to as 'psychological therapy' or 'counselling'. We have practitioners registered with many insurers including: AXA, Aviva, BUPA, CIGNA, PPP, Standard Life and WPA. We are also able to work with some EU and US based health insurance providers.
The first step, if you wish to use your health insurance, is to contact your insurer to find out if they will cover psychological therapy (sometimes the term 'psychiatric benefit' is used instead). Once they have confirmed that they are willing to fund your sessions, they will be able to let you know what to do next. Some insurance providers may require you to visit your GP or a psychiatrist for a referral while others will allow you to refer yourself. It really depends on how your insurance provider works.
Once your provider has confirmed their willingness to fund your sessions, they will provide you with an authentication code and details of any requirements they may have regarding your sessions. Please get in touch when you have both of these pieces of information and we can help you get started on your therapy journey. We won't be able to book you in until you have this information.
It is important to note that some health insurance policies may have an excess and may therefore not cover the full cost of your sessions. In such instances, you will be required to pay the additional cost of each session on the day of your therapy session. You should check your policy carefully before booking your appointment with us.
