Private therapy can seem a worrying and scary service - what will they ask, what is expected, what will happen. In reality, therapy is a safe space to explore, learn and talk.
With private therapy, it is a mental health service that is conducted by a qualified therapist within a private setting/organisation. Your child/young person can access one-to-one sessions with their therapist online or in person. Sessions are person-centred, meaning, these sessions are for your child/young person, and we want you and them to feel as comfortable as possible.
How can I pay for private therapy?
You can pay for private therapy independently and potentially through private insurance dependent on their policies. At bMindful, we can work session by session to align with what can work best for you.
Why might I decide to explore private therapy for my child/young person?
NHS publication Mental Health of Children and Young People in England 2023, presented that 1 in 5 children and young people experienced a probable mental health disorder in 2023.
At some point during through life transitions, children and young people may struggle with their mental health and emotional regulation. This can be confusing and difficult for them, including yourself as parents/carers - in knowing how to best navigate through this with them.

What is bMindful’s process for private therapy?
bMindful’s pathway for private therapy is as follows: You can contact us via phone-call or email where a member of staff will take an initial enquiry of what you are looking for and with brief context of how things are looking and feeling for you and the child/young person at present.
Next, one of our clinicians will book in a 30-minute consultation call with you to gain more background information and to explore what it is that you want support with. From this call, the clinician will suggest and collaborate with you what types of therapy we can offer and identify what best support to follow with.
