Private Practice Therapy

With private practice you are in control of your therapy and counselling experience. Choosing private therapy means that you get personalised care, tailored to you and your situation. Unlike the NHS, you do not need to wait for a GP referral, and you have the option to choose the type of therapy you’ll receive, the location, and the time of your appointments.
