How to Start Therapy Using Your Insurance
Beginning therapy through insurance is usually a straightforward process:
- Check your policy
Contact your insurer or HR team to confirm cover for psychological therapy or assessment. - Obtain authorisation
Most insurers require a pre-authorisation code and sometimes a GP referral. - Arrange your appointment
Email your membership details and authorisation code, and we can schedule your first session—often within 1–2 weeks.
I can assist with this process if you are unsure what to request.

- Psychotherapy (psychodynamic and humanistic)
