    Cost of Clinical Psych

    I was just quoted 110euro for a 50minute session. I had to say no, I can't possibly afford that.

    Any of you guys seeing a therapist, how much are you being charged in the UK or anyone else reading this in Ireland, how much are you being charged?

    Hi,

    I'm paying £130 an hour, but you can't put a price on your health.

    That is true but I'd struggle to be able to buy food if I was paying that out, even twice a month. I must check with my health insurer.

    I pay £120 for my therapist - crippling me but worth it.

    Re: Cost of Clinical Psych

    I am receiving therapy with an anxiety specialist on the NHS, and before that I was getting counselling also on the NHS. The problem is I often have to go weeks between appointments, so in all reality I am sorting my own treatment out elsewhere.

    My hypnotherapist charges £45 for an hour's session.

    Mostly I make do with inositol (£9 for 100 pills) and self-help mp3s which I already own or have downloaded using UTorrent.

    Where do you find out about all this stuff, I read your survival guide (which is brilliant) you must have put some amount of research into it. I don't know what inositol is though?

    What kind of thing are the self-help mp3s, see I'm thinking when chandler was listening to that quit smoking tape! Do they really work?

    I think I'm going to give my CBT book another go and really put the homework into it this time. I'm not very disciplined that way...
