What to Expect From Your Therapy Journey


Many clients feel disheartened that they haven’t been able to “fix” things on their own, but therapy offers a chance to step out of that mindset—with support and perspective. Your experience will be structured yet personalised:

  1. Initial Consultation/Assessment – A detailed discussion of your concerns, history, and goals for therapy.

  2. Tailored Therapy Plan – Matching you with the most effective evidence-based approach for your needs. Therapists may gently explore your past if it’s helpful for understanding the present, but the focus is always on what feels relevant and manageable for you.

  3. Ongoing Sessions – Regular therapy with progress reviews and adjustments as required. Sessions are always paced according to your needs and comfort level.

  4. Multi-Disciplinary Support – Coordinated care with other specialists where appropriate.

  5. Review & Maintenance – Planning for long-term wellbeing and resilience.




Appointments and Confidentiality


We offer in-person sessions at our London clinics and secure online consultations for those who prefer remote access. Every appointment is conducted in a confidential and respectful setting, ensuring you feel safe and supported from your first session onwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of therapy do you offer at Central Health London?


At Central Health London, we offer a range of evidence-based therapies including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, ACT, mindfulness, family therapy, and EMDR. Our approach is consultant-led, ensuring that every treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, and preferences. We also have dedicated pathways for adult and child ADHD and neurodiversity assessment and management, delivered in collaboration with our medical team. This combination of psychological expertise and integrated healthcare makes our service unique among psychology and counselling providers in London.


Can therapy help with both short-term issues and long-standing conditions?

Yes, therapy can be highly effective for both short-term challenges and long-standing conditions. Short-term interventions may focus on a specific problem, such as anxiety linked to a recent life event, while long-term therapy may address complex or recurrent issues like depression, trauma, or relationship patterns. At Central Health London, our consultant-led team will recommend the most appropriate approach and duration of therapy based on your needs, ensuring you receive the right level of support for lasting change and improved mental wellbeing.



Do you provide support for maternal and perinatal mental health?

Yes, we have extensive expertise in maternal and perinatal mental health, supporting patients through pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period. Our therapists work closely with our Obstetrics team to provide joined-up care for issues such as postnatal depression, anxiety, and birth-related trauma. This integrated approach ensures that emotional support is aligned with physical care, helping patients feel safe, understood, and empowered during one of life’s most significant transitions.



How do I know which type of therapy is right for me?

Choosing the right therapy depends on your individual needs, goals, and circumstances. In your initial consultation, we will explore your history, current challenges, and preferences before recommending the most effective approach. This might involve one specific therapy or a combination, such as CBT alongside mindfulness techniques. Because we are consultant-led and work closely with medical colleagues, we can adapt your treatment plan as your needs evolve, ensuring the best possible outcomes over time.



Do you offer online counselling sessions?


Yes, we offer secure online counselling sessions for patients who cannot attend in person or prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments. These sessions provide the same level of professionalism, confidentiality, and clinical effectiveness as face-to-face therapy. Many patients use a mix of in-person and virtual sessions, depending on their schedule and needs. Our aim is to make access to high-quality mental health care as convenient and accessible as possible, without compromising on the depth or quality of support you receive.


Can you coordinate my therapy with other medical treatments I am receiving?

Yes, one of the unique advantages of our service is that we can coordinate your therapy with other treatments you are receiving, both within Central Health London and externally. Our therapists often work closely with GPs, psychiatrists, paediatricians, and other specialists to ensure your care is holistic and consistent. This multi-disciplinary approach is particularly valuable for patients with complex needs or co-existing mental and physical health conditions, allowing for better communication between clinicians and improved continuity of care.
