Why Choose a Private Psychologist?
There are many routes into therapy, but choosing to work with a private psychologist offers important benefits:
Faster access to support
NHS waiting lists can be several months long. Private therapy allows you to begin quickly, often within a week. This means you can access support when you need it most, rather than waiting for symptoms to worsen.
Choice of therapist
Instead of being allocated a clinician, you can select the psychologist who feels right for you. Some clients look for a female private psychologist in London while others want someone with specific expertise in anxiety or trauma. Private practice gives you the freedom to make that choice.
Flexibility
Living and working in London can mean unpredictable schedules. Private psychologists offer flexible appointments, including mornings, evenings, and online sessions. This helps therapy fit into your routine rather than adding stress.
Tailored approaches
While NHS therapy is often limited to short-term Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), private therapy offers a broader range of evidence-based approaches. At The London Psychology Clinic, we integrate CBT, trauma-informed care, schema therapy, and other models to design treatment around your needs.
Confidentiality
We understand that discretion is crucial, especially for professionals in London. All sessions are confidential and conducted in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
What to Expect From Private Therapy
It is normal to feel nervous before starting therapy. Understanding what happens in your first sessions can help.
Initial consultation: We begin by exploring your current concerns, history, and goals for therapy.
Collaborative planning: Together, we decide on the most appropriate therapeutic approach.
Regular sessions: Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly or fortnightly.
Confidential environment: Everything you share remains private, with clear boundaries explained at the outset.
Review and progress: Therapy continues for as long as it is helpful, with regular reviews to ensure it meets your goals.
Many clients tell us they feel relief after their very first session, simply from having a safe space to talk openly.
