Referrals
                        
Referrals are accepted via GPs and psychiatrists. Alternatively, you can self refer by contacting Equilibrium directly.              

Please feel free to get in touch to see if psychological therapy is appropriate for you and is something you wish to pursue, or for information about availability and fees.

Before seeking a referral to see a psychologist it may be helpful to discuss your difficulties with your GP, to address or rule out any underlying medical reasons for your problems. Some medical conditions are present with psychological features (e.g. thyroid abnormalities), and it is useful to address these causes before anything else.

 Other things to consider before making an appointment are:

• Making time to attend – It is usually important to be able to attend on a regular basis for treatment to be effective. It may be important to consider whether it is possible to make sufficient time in the weekly schedule to attend for an hour once a week or fortnight.
• Time to practice the techniques we discuss between sessions is essential.
• Late cancellation – 24 hours notice of cancellation is requested, otherwise a fee may be applied.
