Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about appointments, fees, or anything else, check our FAQ below
-
How do I make an appointment?
It is easy to make an appointment – please see our Appointments page
-
How long will I have to wait to see a therapist?
Usually not long at all – within two weeks. This depends on who you would like to see and what times you are available. If you require an appointment later in the day, then you may have to wait longer as these slots are limited.
-
How do I pay?
As all therapists are self-employed they will have different payment systems. Cash or cheque is fine. Most therapists accept BACs payments and some have card machines. You can request an invoice or receipt should you need one.
-
I can't afford to pay...
Whilst we have to charge, we are looking into getting some funding in the future. We currently have a couple of reduced fee appointments. These may incur a much longer waiting time, but we would like to make therapy available to everyone. We don’t want fees to be a barrier to getting help so please talk to us if you’re on a limited income.
-
Can I make an appointment for someone else?
Yes, this is possible as long as the person you are making the appointment for (e.g. your child or family member) is in agreement that they would like to come for an initial session.
-
My family member is having therapy - can I come with them?
If you are coming for family therapy then you can all come along.
If your family member will be receiving individual therapy then we will be seeing them alone. But if they would like you to come along for the first session we would usually invite you into the room for the first 10 minutes or so.
Please note that we have no waiting room facility.
-
Can I wait in the building for my family member to finish their session?
We do not have a waiting room, so we would ask that you leave the building.
