Referrals

You can ask for an appointment at Somerset Clinic without needing to be referred by your GP.

We also accept referrals directly from GP's, hospital consultants, psychiatrists and other health and social care professionals.

Costs and Funding

Costs vary depending on the clinician providing treatment and service required. Sessions are 50-60 minutes long and an initial appointment is charged at the clinician’s sessional rate (£75 - £150).

Services provided can usually be covered by private insurance companies. We provide services on behalf of WPA, BUPA, AXA and Aviva.

We are also able to provide intervention and assessment funded by a Local Authority or instructed by the Family Courts.

Appointment Times

We endeavour to offer an initial appointment within two weeks where possible.

 Currently, appointment times are offered between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.

Therapy appointments tend to be offered on a weekly or fortnightly basis with the same clinician. This is usually at the same time each week. If this is not possible, please discuss this when making your initial enquiry or with your clinician at the initial appointment.
