TYPICAL SESSION
Assessment Appointment:Prior to therapy or any intervention, an initial assessment is conducted to obtain relevant information pertaining to the client's presenting problem or issue of concern. Upon such assessment weekly or fortnightly therapy sessions will be offered as appropriate. During the initial assessment appointment, clients are provided with the space to talk about their problem or concerns. Specific assessment tools are frequently implemented to determine the extent of depression or anxiety (i.e. mild, moderate or severe).
Based on the outcome of these assessment tests, treatment is sometimes offered in the very first appointment, enabling clients to appreciate that change can be experienced quite swiftly.
All sessions are by appointment only. A typical session is 1 hour long. The fee for a 1 hour session ranges from £90-£110. Effective Stress Buster Sessions cost £35 per person, per 40 minutes group session. The fees are subject to change on an annual basis.

Referrals to the Psychological Unity of Mind & Body frequently derive from GPs, self referral, hospitals, insurance claims and healthcare services amongst others.

Cancellation of Appointments:
The PUMB operates a 48 hour cancellation notice policy. All clients must cancel their respective appointment within 48 hours of the arranged therapy session which must be conducted over the phone (i.e. verbal confirmation or you can leave a message on the voicemail service). Failure to cancel an appointment with less than 48 hours notice will incur a cancellation fee, which is set at the same rate of the therapy session. The related practitioner must be compensated for the loss of advanced bookings.
