A private practice

A quiet first conversation, before anything is decided.

Private appointments, beginning with an unhurried conversation about what you are looking for and whether this practice is the right place for it.

Contact details only at first. Nothing clinical is asked online.

First contact

Three steps, at your pace.

  1. i.

    An enquiry

    Your name, how to reach you and the times that suit. No health details.

  2. ii.

    A short conversation

    A call or video meeting to talk about what you're looking for and whether the practice fits.

  3. iii.

    A decision together

    If it fits, you agree a first appointment. If not, the practice may suggest where else to look.

Scope

What the practice offers.

Each line is set by the practice. Nothing here is a diagnosis or a promise of an outcome.

  1. Who the practice sees

    Practice to confirm

    Ages, circumstances and the kinds of difficulty it works with.

  2. How appointments run

    Practice to confirm

    In person, by video or both, and how long each one lasts.

  3. What it does not offer

    Practice to confirm

    For example, emergency or crisis care, or services for under-18s.

Before you decide

A first conversation, at your pace.

The first conversation is a chance to see whether this feels right. What you talk about, and how quickly, is yours to decide, and nothing clinical is asked through this website. Read how the practice works, then get in touch when you are ready.

If you need help now

This practice cannot respond to emergencies.

If you are in danger or may act on thoughts of harming yourself, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent help that is not an emergency, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. Samaritans answer any time on 116 123.
