Feel well therapy provides services to clients aged 16 years and over . If you are looking to self-fund therapy sessions or have approval from your health insurers for treatment please contact us directly. Solicitors or employers usually refer clients to us directly.

Assessment appointments usually last for 50-60 minutes during which we will talk about your current difficulties and what has brought you to therapy. We will work together to try and understand how your difficulties have developed and the factors that keep them going. We will start to identify specific goals that you might want to achieve and obstacles that get in the way of you achieving them. We will explain what CBT/EMDR/  Counselling is in more detail and how this might help with your particular problem. If we feel that what we are offering is not suitable then we will try and recommend alternative options. To assist us with your assessment we may ask you to complete a range of assessment questionnaires.

Assessment and therapy sessions usually last for 50-60 minutes at the agreed time, unless your therapist advises you differently. 

The number of therapy sessions recommended will depend upon the nature of your difficulties and its severity but this typically ranges from 6 – 20 sessions. Some clients need more sessions. Following your assessment we will give you an indication of how many sessions may be recommended taking account of your individual needs and the NICE guidelines for your difficulties.

For all clients we would routinely review treatment at session 6 to make sure that therapy is being helpful and is focused on the goals that we agree together.

The cost of sessions is detailed next to the therapist’s profiles. The cost of sessions reflects the market rate for different therapies and the therapist’s professional background and qualifications. For self funding sessions, payment needs to be paid in advance by bank transfer. Apologies but we are not able to take card payment at this time.
