Deciding to seek support can be difficult in itself. Congratulations for taking this important step! Now you’re left to face navigating the range of mental health support. Should you speak to a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, therapist or a coach?

Perhaps your friend has had psychodynamic therapy or Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and this has tremendously helped them. Could this help you too?

Booking an initial consultation

Once you’ve settled upon a specialist, you can book your initial appointment at a time and place that suits you by exploring their calendar availability. Therapists and coaches tend to offer free initial consultations, so you can explore whether you envisage working with them long-term. You can find out more about what to expect during your first therapy session here.

For any questions, get in touch with the Augmentative team through the live chat. Or message your practitioner directly through the messaging function on their profile page.

Paying for your appointment

Every practitioner has their separate fees which are displayed on their website. For therapists, these start from £40, while for psychiatrists they start from £250 for a 1-hour consultation, with lower fees for follow-up appointments.

Some practitioners may be able to offer concessionary fees under certain circumstances. To find out more get in touch with the Augmentive team using the live chat feature and find out if your practitioner of choice offers this.

If your workplace doesn’t currently offer the support you need, we may be able to help you access support from us through your organisation. Get in touch over the live chat to learn more.
