clinical or counselling Psychology sessions

Your first session with us will be an assessment session.

In some cases a 90 minute assessment may be recommended but this will be discussed prior to booking. Assessment includes a full diagnostic assessment, formulation and treatment recommendations. We are also happy to send an assessment report to you or to your referrer if you would like.

Within The London Centre our senior clinicians have a slightly higher session fee as they have more years of experience working with eating disorders.

Alternatively, our Trainee Counselling Psychologists are able to offer lower cost therapy sessions, at £100 per hour (£135 per assessment). There are many benefits in having a Trainee Psychologist as a therapist. They have regular supervision with our Clinical Directors which means clients indirectly receive input from a highly experienced Clinician through the Trainee at a reduced financial rate. Therefore making therapy more affordable whilst still benefiting from the wealth and knowledge of experience given by a practicing eating disorder specialist.

PSYCHIATRY

For clients aged 15 and above, we can offer a full family assessment, this offers the opportunity for each family member to have some 121 space with our Psychiatrist as well as time together. These assessments last 90 minutes and cost £800.

Individual Psychiatric assessments last 60 minutes and cost £550.

Follow up treatment is as follows:

60 min follow up £500.00

30 min follow up £250.00

15 min call £120.00

Prescription £50.00

Please note that prescriptions made during an appointment aren’t charged. Prescriptions are only chargeable when a request is made outside an appointment.

Dietetic and occupational therapy

A dietetic or occupational therapy session can be booked in isolation or in conjunction with psychological treatment.

Family / couples therapy

60 minute assessments can be arranged for £285.
Subsequent 50 minute sessions are charged at £190.

The frequency of these sessions will be discussed as part of your assessment, but can vary from weekly (for Family Based Therapy) to monthly.

Please contact us if you would like any more details about the pricing of sessions.

If you have health insurance and think that this may cover your treatment fees you should contact your insurance provider directly, prior to your first appointment. Your insurance provider will be able to tell you if your policy will cover your treatment with us. Some insurance companies require a GP or psychiatrist referral prior to funding sessions with a psychologist. If this is the case please feel free to contact us and we can help you organise this.

The London Centre for Eating Disorders and Body Image can offer treatment to clients covered by Aviva, Cigna, WPA and Bupa Global. If your insurance provider is not listed here, please send us an e-mail as they may still cover your treatment.

Regrettably, we are not currently able to accept BUPA, VITALITY and AXA.

We do require payment for an assessment 24 hours before the assessment. Once in treatment, you will be emailed an invoice on a monthly basis detailing all sessions held within that calendar month, their individual invoice numbers, appointment time and Clinician name.  Please note that individual sessional invoices won’t be provided automatically but can be sent to you upon request. 

Payment terms are upon receipt and within a maximum 30 day period from receipt of invoice

Please note, we require a minimum of 24 hours notice to make a cancellation otherwise the full session fee will be charged. Please see a copy of our full terms and conditions here.
