GP Referral Plan

Hypnosis is becoming more accepted as a therapy for many emotional and mental problems where the use of medication is sometimes felt to be inappropriate or could possibly result in unpleasant side effects. Unfortunately, since hypnotherapy is still practiced largely in the private sector, very often, fees for such treatment can be out of reach for many of those patients who might otherwise benefit from this type of therapy.

My own unique ‘GP Referral Plan’ aims to reduce these costs significantly for such patients, as I believe financial restraints should not deprive patients of the benefit of treatment. Therefore, any General Practitioner who has a patient they feel would benefit from hypnotherapy, may, by supplying a note either on their letterhead, or under cover of their practice stamp, arrange for that patient to have an appointment with me for just £49 a session up to a maximum of four sessions - my normal private practice fee is £65. This will then entitle their patient to the same time and quality of service as a client paying the full amount. However, this does not apply to the Smoking Cessation or Weight Loss programmes. Nor does it apply to those clients who might wish to claim these fees back from a personal health insurance scheme or those referred to me through consultants or hospitals.

We are all, in our different ways, working for the benefit of the patient and it is hoped that through this popular ‘GP Referral Plan’ hypnotherapy will become more available for those patients who might not otherwise be able to afford it.
