Practical Details & Practice payment policy for self-funing & insurance clients

For self funded clients (i.e. not insured), the initial consultation fee charged is the fee outlined in the fee scale listing - for e.g. if the wage level is above £48,000, the fee is £115.00 for the session.

- Booster session rates: the sliding scale rate applies.
- For new referrals, fees reviewed should client circumstances change (£95.00 the lowest fee scale).
- Rates revised annually & a fee of £95 per hour for Report writing.
- Cancellation time of 48 hours required, otherwise full session fee applies - this includes the first appointment, and also applies to clients using insurance. Note: if your insurance does not pay for cancellations, you will be responsible for the payment of the cancellation, and the wage scale applies.
- Payment via internet banking: payable on the day of the appointment to the therapist. The therapist will provide the banking details to you.
Note: If insurance funds are not in place, the therapy cannot take place for new referrals, and for existing clients, the therapist will need to suspend or stop the treatment until the insurance is renewed or any outstanding fees paid. And this also applies to 2 consecutive client cancellations. Any outstanding uncovered insurance invoices are the responsibility of the client to pay to the therapist at the self-funding rate.

If you are paying via Internet banking, direct payment is expected on the day of session.

Confidentiality

Your psychotherapy sessions are confidential. In order to maintain professional and sound practice, it is a requirement of BABCP accredited and UKCP registered psychotherapists to engage in regular supervision with a clinical supervisor. Your therapist may raise issues that pertain to your work during these meetings, however, your identity is not revealed. Confidentiality is breached and a third party is informed (e.g. contacting emergency services, your GP, police or the therapist’s assigned clinical supervisor), if a client states to their psychotherapist that they will either harm themselves or another human being or if the client possesses knowledge of harm or potential harm to a child under 18 years of age, or if a therapist is instructed by the law courts to present information pertaining to a criminal act. Also note, it is necesarily for all BABCP accredited therapists to have a "Clinical Will" in place. This means, that in the event of your therapist being incapacitated or in the event of therapist death, the clinical supervisor: David Dickey-Collas is the assigned professional to make the client contact.

If you have any queries regarding the information outlined here, please seek clarification with the therapist.

AXA Health Insurance and CBT Therapy

AXA Health insurance provides comprehensive support for its members, including coverage for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a widely recognised and effective treatment for various mental health concerns. CBT focuses on addressing negative thought patterns and behaviours, helping individuals manage conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, and phobias.

For members with AXA Health insurance, accessing CBT can be straightforward. Typically, members need a referral from a GP or an AXA-approved specialist to begin treatment. Once referred, AXA may connect members with a network of accredited therapists, ensuring high standards of care. Coverage for CBT sessions often depends on the specific policy chosen, with some plans offering full coverage and others providing partial support or a set number of sessions per year.

AXA recognises the importance of mental health and aims to make therapy accessible and convenient. Many policies also offer virtual CBT sessions, enabling members to receive care from the comfort of their homes. Additionally, AXA Health offers proactive mental health services, including their Mind Health service, which provides quick access to qualified mental health professionals.

Policyholders are encouraged to review their specific plan details to understand the extent of CBT coverage and any applicable terms, such as excess fees or session limits.

Bupa Global Health Insurance and CBT Therapy

Bupa Global health insurance provides access to a range of mental health services, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment widely used to help individuals manage anxiety, depression, stress, panic disorders, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and other mental health conditions. CBT works by helping people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, enabling them to develop healthier coping strategies and improve their overall wellbeing.

For members with eligible Bupa Global health insurance policies, CBT may be covered as part of their mental health benefits. Accessing treatment typically begins with a referral from a GP or through Bupa Global's mental health pathways, depending on the policy and level of cover. Bupa Global may then arrange treatment with a qualified therapist within its recognised network of mental health professionals. IMPORTANT: If your insurance is in place, you can self-refer.

The extent of CBT coverage can vary between policies. Some plans may provide full cover for approved treatment, while others may include limits on the number of sessions available or require members to contribute towards costs through an excess. Pre-authorisation is often required before treatment begins, so policyholders should contact Bupa to confirm their eligibility and level of cover.

Bupa Global also recognises the importance of accessible mental healthcare and may offer remote therapy options, including online and telephone-based CBT sessions, allowing members to access support in a way that suits their needs and circumstances.

As policy terms and benefits can differ, members are encouraged to review their individual policy documents or speak directly with Bupa Global to understand what mental health services are included and any conditions that may apply.
