Get started: find the right psychologist for you

A few short questions so our clinical team can understand what you need and match you with the right psychologist. It takes about two minutes.

Step 1 of 18

How this works

Answer a few short questions about what you are looking for and how things are for you at the moment. There are no right or wrong answers, and you can go back and change anything before you send it.

  • It takes about two minutes
  • Your answers are confidential and go only to our clinical team
  • All sessions are online, via secure video
  • Sessions are £130 for 50 minutes
  • No GP referral needed

First, where can we reach you?

We ask for this up front so we can get back to you, even if something interrupts you before the end. Your details stay confidential.

Please check your name, email and phone number.

Your information is treated in the strictest confidence. See our privacy policy.

Who would you like support for?

Support for children and young people

We only work with adults (18 and over), so we are not the right service for a child or young person. There is good support available:

  • Your GP, who can refer you to local NHS services
  • NHS children and young people's mental health services (CAMHS), which you can reach through your GP or often through school
  • Young Minds, advice and support for young people and parents
  • Childline, free and confidential for under-19s, on 0800 1111
  • For families in Kent, our colleagues at The Tunbridge Wells Psychologist work with children and young people

If you would like to ask us anything, you can send us a message.

Chose the wrong answer by mistake?

How old are you?

What brings you here?

A sentence or two is fine. Just tell us, in your own words, what you would like help with.

Please tell us a little about what brings you here.

What are you hoping for from therapy?

Tap the ones that matter to you, in order of importance. Completely optional, you can continue without choosing any.

Would you prefer therapy that feels more structured, or more exploratory?

Have you had therapy or counselling before?

Please tell us a little about it: what it was for, whether it helped, and roughly when.

Have you experienced anything traumatic or distressing that still affects you today?

You do not need to go into any detail here.

Please answer the following questions about yourself. Your answers are confidential and help us make sure we can offer the right support.

In the last 6 months, have you had any thoughts about hurting yourself, or ending your life?

Thank you for being honest with us. There is no wrong answer here, and what you tell us helps us think carefully about the right support for you.

Are these thoughts something you feel at risk of acting on?

Are you currently making plans to end your life?

Thank you for being honest with us

It sounds like things are really hard at the moment. Because you have told us about thoughts you might act on, we want you to know where to get support straight away. Your safety comes first, and our service is not suitable for crisis intervention.

Chose the wrong answer by mistake?

Have you ever, at any point in your life, tried to harm yourself or end your life?

Was this self-harm, a suicide attempt, or both?

Thank you for telling us. This helps our clinical team understand what support might be right for you.

When was the most recent time?

A rough sense is fine.

If you answered 'Yes' to any of the previous questions and would like to share anything else, please use the space below:

Are you currently using alcohol in a way that feels hard to manage or is significantly affecting daily life?

Are you currently using recreational drugs in a way that feels hard to manage or is significantly affecting daily life?

Do you have a preference about who you see?

Is there a type of therapy you would like to try?

Choose as many as you like. If you are not sure, that is completely fine, our clinical team will guide you.

When are you generally free for sessions?

Choose all that apply. A rough idea is fine, we will confirm times with you.

Days

Please choose at least one day.

Time of day

Please choose at least one time of day.

How will you be funding therapy?

If you are using health insurance, we handle the invoicing with your insurer directly, so there is no paperwork for you.

Is there anything else you would like to share with us?

Optional. Anything you think would help us understand what you need.

Almost there

Just confirm you're not a robot and send your answers to our clinical team.

Your information is treated in the strictest confidence. See our privacy policy.
