How matching works
We match each client with the psychologist whose specialism and availability fit best. You are welcome to tell us who you would like to see, and we will confirm fit and availability. If that person is full, we will say so and offer the best-matched alternative or a place on their waiting list. Your fee follows the grade of the psychologist you see, as set out on our fees page.
How we check every psychologist
Every clinician holds a doctorate in psychology and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. Most are clinical psychologists. Where a clinician is registered under a different protected title (e.g. counselling psychologist, health psychologist) we tell you which, before you start. What the titles mean →
We verify that registration directly with the HCPC register before anyone sees a client, and again every year. Professional indemnity insurance in the clinician’s own name is confirmed at the same annual check, and enrolment in the DBS Update Service is a condition of working with us, so at each annual check we confirm online that nothing new has been added, rather than relying on a certificate filed once at onboarding.
Clinical supervision
Every clinician maintains their own clinical supervision arrangements, alongside HCPC registration and professional indemnity, as a condition of working with us.
One psychologist throughout your care, wherever possible
Our usual approach is for the same psychologist to assess you and provide your therapy. If your needs change, your clinician becomes unavailable, or the match does not feel right, we’ll discuss the options with you and help plan the next steps. Every clinician works within a maximum of two named specialisms, and we don’t take on work outside them.
When we are full, and when we are not the right fit
We match against the capacity each clinician has actually declared, and when the team is full we say so. We explore whether our service is likely to be a good fit during your introductory conversation. Assessment helps us understand your needs in more depth. If another service would be more appropriate, we’ll explain why and discuss the next steps.
