Appointments & Fees

Appointments

Deciding whether to make an initial psychology appointment can be daunting but there is no obligation to commit beyond the first meeting. The initial appointment provides an opportunity to focus on individual needs, to think together about the issues raised and to determine what kind of approach will work best. Having in mind the many types of psychotherapy that exist, if an alternative seems likely to be of more benefit, Dr Willner will be able to make a recommendation or refer on to another practitioner.

Direct self-referrals are welcome or referrals can be made by a GP, Psychiatrist or other medical practitioner.

Daytime or evening appointments can usually be arranged within one week.
