How does online therapy work?

Sessions take place by secure video call from wherever in the UK you are. You'll need a private space, a device with a camera, and a reliable internet connection. Everything else works as it would in a therapy room: the same approaches, the same confidentiality, and the same therapeutic relationship. Research shows that online therapy achieves outcomes comparable to in-person therapy when evidence-based approaches are used.

Is online therapy as effective as meeting in person?

For most people and most difficulties, yes. Studies comparing online and in-person therapy consistently find similar improvements in emotional wellbeing and symptom reduction, particularly with evidence-based approaches such as CBT. Online therapy also removes practical barriers — travel, mobility, scheduling — which often makes it easier to attend consistently, and consistency matters. You can read more in the article Therapy in our digital age: exploring the benefits of online therapy.

What happens in the first session?

The first session is an assessment — a structured, gentle conversation to understand your current situation, background and goals. There's no pressure to share more than you feel able to, and it's also your opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for whether this is the right fit. You can read a fuller picture in The first session: what to expect when meeting a Psychologist.

How many sessions will I need?

It varies with what you bring and what you'd like to change. Some focused pieces of work take a handful of sessions; deeper or longer-standing difficulties take longer. Progress is reviewed together regularly, so therapy continues only while it's genuinely useful to you.

How much does therapy cost?

The introductory call is free. Therapy sessions are £120 for up to 60 minutes, typically weekly or fortnightly, with availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. See the fees page for full details, including insurance-funded therapy.

Is what I share confidential?

Yes. Everything you share is treated as confidential within the limits of professional ethics and the law — those limits, and how your information is handled, are explained clearly in the confidentiality statement and discussed at the start of therapy.

What's the difference between a Clinical Psychologist and a counsellor?

"Clinical Psychologist" is a legally protected title. It means doctoral-level training (DClinPsy) in psychological assessment and therapy across a wide range of difficulties, and registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), which regulates standards and conduct. Counsellors and psychotherapists can be excellent practitioners, but the titles aren't regulated in the same way and training varies widely. You can verify Kayleigh's registration on the HCPC public register.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No. This is a private practice, so you can refer yourself — simply get in touch or book a free introductory call.
