Private therapist

Private therapists available

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, past trauma, or something that’s hard to explain, speaking to a private therapist can help. You don’t have to wait for months or go through a referral process, just reach out and start getting the support you need.

At PLE Health, we connect you with qualified, experienced therapists who are here to listen, understand, and help you move forward. Therapy is your space - confidential, non-judgemental, and shaped around you.

What is a private therapist?

A private therapist is a trained professional who offers emotional and psychological support without needing a referral from a GP or the NHS. They work with individuals, couples, and sometimes families to help make sense of what you’re feeling and find a way through.

Private therapy gives you more flexibility:

  • You choose who you work with

  • You’re not limited by NHS waiting times

  • You decide the pace and style of therapy

  • You can access support quickly - online or in person

What can a private therapist help with?

Therapists work with a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns, including:

  • Anxiety or panic

  • Depression or low mood

  • Trauma or difficult past experiences

  • Stress or burnout

  • Relationship issues or family challenges

  • Grief and loss

  • Self-esteem or confidence issues

  • Feeling “stuck” or unsure what’s wrong

You don’t need a specific diagnosis to benefit from therapy. If something is affecting your daily life, it’s worth talking about.

What to expect in therapy

Every person’s therapy journey is different, but it usually starts with a first session to talk about what’s going on and what you’d like to get from therapy. You’ll work together with your therapist to set a pace and focus that feels right for you.

You might meet weekly or fortnightly, online or in person.  Some people come for a few sessions; others find long-term therapy helpful.
