I offer a free, no obligation telephone call, usually ten minutes or so, to understand a bit about you and what's been going on, and also to allow you to ask any questions you may have. From there, I conduct an initial consultation, up to 90 minutes in length, to gain an understanding of your life and history. ​At that point, if we both feel that we can work together, we establish a regular, weekly appointment, either in person, online or over the telephone, and we begin. I work from consulting rooms in Marylebone, the Harley Street district of central London, and Esher in Surrey, and see clients in person in those locations. ​Usually, I work in what's known as 'open-ended' fashion. This means there is no finish date in mind, and it allows for deep exploration and understanding. I can also work in what is called a 'time-limited' approach - usually 12 sessions, and focused on a specific issue. Sometimes people like this to get a taste of what therapy is like.​ I am able to work with clients who have private health insurance, including providers such as Aviva, AXA Health, Cigna, Health Assured, Nuffield Health, Vitality and WPA. ​If you feel that I might be able to help you, please do get in touch via email on: stephen@thepsychotherapistlondon.com, or the contact form on the next page, and I will respond promptly. I look forward to hearing from you.
