It can be confusing knowing how to go about getting help for your difficulties or which type of therapy to try and some types of therapy will be more suited to treating some people, or some particular conditions or difficulties, than others.

There are a number of treatment options available on the NHS, but you may find that you are limited by what is available in your area, you don’t want to wait to be seen, or the appointment times and locations don’t suit your lifestyle.

If you choose private practice, you are likely to be seen sooner and you will have greater flexibility to find the right therapy, location, and receive the number of sessions necessary for you, rather than the number that the all too often scarce NHS resources can provide. It is always good to discuss your options with your GP, so that they can help you make an informed choice.
