Stories
From those we've supported
I was in a room with a psychologist who actually understood me.
I was on an NHS waiting list for 11 months before I found Select. Within two weeks I was in a room with a psychologist who actually understood me. Life-changing isn't an overstatement.
Helped us find a language for things we'd been avoiding for years.
We tried couples counselling elsewhere and it wasn't for us. At Select, Kerry helped us find a language for things we'd been avoiding for years.
Quick, qualified, and communicate brilliantly.
As a GP, I refer patients to Select when the NHS options aren't right. They're quick, qualified, and communicate brilliantly.

FAQs
Questions people usually ask.
If your question isn't here, call us on 0191 258 0008 or request a callback.
1 How much does private therapy cost?
Our fees are £95 for relationship therapy, £110 for specialist psychological therapy such as CBT and psychotherapy, and £140 for clinical and counselling psychology. Psychological assessments start at £350 including the report. All sessions are 50 to 60 minutes.
2 Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can self-refer directly. Just call us or request a callback and our Pathway Team will take it from there.
3 Do you accept private medical insurance?
Yes. Bupa, Aviva, AXA, Allianz Care, Simply Health, and more. If you have a policy, let us know when you get in touch and we'll handle the authorisation process.
4 What's the difference between a counsellor, psychologist, and psychotherapist?
Counsellors and relationship therapists typically offer shorter-term work focused on a specific issue (£95). Psychotherapists and specialist therapists such as CBT work on deeper patterns (£110). Clinical and counselling psychologists have doctoral training and work with more complex presentations (£140).
5 How long does therapy usually take?
It varies with what you bring. Some work is shorter (single-issue CBT); some longer (complex trauma, relationship work). You review progress with your therapist regularly, so therapy lasts as long as it is useful.
6 Can I do sessions online?
Yes, we offer online sessions across all therapy types. Many clients combine in-person and online sessions depending on their week. In-person is typically the richer experience, but online removes travel as a barrier.
