Bupa clinical psychologists online
HCPC-registered clinical psychologists, covered by your Bupa health insurance. We handle all the Bupa administration for you. No paperwork, no chasing claims, just therapy.
How Bupa therapy cover works
Most Bupa health insurance policies include cover for psychological therapy. To get started, speak to your Bupa team directly. Let them know what you are looking for therapy for and they will provide you with an authorisation number. Before your first session, it is also worth checking the following.
-
Get your authorisation number Call Bupa and explain what you would like therapy for. They will issue an authorisation number, which you can pass on to us when you get in touch.
-
Check your excess Some Bupa plans have an annual excess that applies before cover starts. Check whether yours has been met for the current policy year.
Once you have confirmed your cover, the process with us is straightforward. You attend your sessions and we handle all the administration on our side, liaising with Bupa and invoicing them directly. You do not need to submit any paperwork yourself.
Why choose The Online Psychologists
HCPC-registered clinical psychologists
Every session is delivered by a doctoral-level clinical psychologist with a minimum of seven years of training. Bupa recognises HCPC-registered clinical psychologists, so your sessions should be covered under most plans that include psychological therapy.
12 evidence-based approaches
Our psychologists are trained across CBT, EMDR, ACT, schema therapy, compassion-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy and more. Your treatment is tailored to you, not limited to a single approach.
We handle all the Bupa admin
You do not need to submit invoices or chase paperwork. We liaise with Bupa and invoice them directly on your behalf, so you can focus entirely on your therapy.
Personal matching
Our Clinical Director, Dr Rachel Whatmough, personally reviews every enquiry and matches you with the psychologist whose expertise and style best suit your needs. This is a clinical decision, not an algorithm.

Most clients have their first full session within a week of getting in touch. If your Bupa cover is active and you are ready to start, there is no reason to wait.
