Psychology
Psychology services
Talking therapy with a registered psychologist, arranged through the network.
Psychologists provide assessment and talking therapy. The work is ongoing rather than a single appointment, and the relationship matters, which is why being matched appropriately is part of the process.
Through the platform you can be connected with a psychologist in the network, either directly or following a consultation with a doctor.
People come to psychology for a wide range of reasons: anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, difficulty in a relationship, burnout, or simply a period where things stopped feeling manageable. You do not need a diagnosis to justify an appointment.
A first session is largely about understanding the situation and agreeing what the work should focus on. From there it becomes a course of sessions rather than a single appointment, because change of this kind takes time.
What this covers
- Psychological assessment
- Talking therapy
- Support alongside medical management where relevant
- Onward referral where a different discipline is indicated
Good to know
Psychologists and psychiatrists do different work. Where medication assessment is indicated, referral to a psychiatrist is arranged.
All services are subject to appropriate clinical assessment, professional scope of practice and clinical suitability.

Questions
Common questions
Do psychologists prescribe medication?
No. Psychologists provide assessment and therapy. Where medication needs to be considered, referral to a doctor or psychiatrist is arranged.
Can therapy be done remotely?
Yes. Remote psychology sessions are well established and work well for many presentations.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies considerably. The psychologist will discuss a likely range with you after the first session rather than committing you in advance.
Do I need a diagnosis to see a psychologist?
No. Many people seek psychological support for a difficult period rather than for a diagnosed condition.
