Private Therapist & Psychologist

Anyone can call themselves a therapist. At MyHealthCare Clinic therapists are all registered as health professionals: Doctor’s of Clinical Psychology. They are all Senior Clinical Psychologists which means they have had extensive years of practice post clinical training. A Clinical Psychologist has studied for a minimum of seven years to acquire their first degree of Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology and subsequently a Doctorate in a form of applied Psychologist. This allows them to take a scientific and informed approach to the treatment of mental disorders and emotional difficulties. Therapists and counsellors have variable training and are often only able to deliver one therapy model as opposed to multiple approaches.

A psychiatrist is a medically qualified doctor who has specialism in the field of psychiatry. This means that a psychiatrist can rule out the physical cause for your difficulties and also order tests and prescribe medication. This is something that MyHealthCare Clinic can also support with providing.

Our Clinical Psychologists are all Senior Clinical Psychologists who have years of experience working in the NHS with a vast range of difficulties from mild to severe presentations. They are trained across the life span and have all received specialist training in a range of contemporary therapeutic approaches. They receive regular supervision as part of working with MyHealthCare Clinic. If you wished, you could also access a GP and psychiatrist within the service to have continuity of care.

Therapy has traditionally been delivered face to face but Covid rapidly changed the way that therapists viewed this. There is growing evidence that online therapy works just as effectively as face-to-face therapy. It is important to note that the therapy that is offered is video calling – this means (like face-to-face therapy), it allows both therapist and client to communicate body language and tone – just like in face-to-face sessions. There are a number of other benefits from virtual therapy too – such as flexibility and accessibility. Online therapy allows you to choose when, where and how to see your therapist – in the past trying to fit two peoples schedules together can be tricky! By taking things online – you can both be much more available. It also makes therapy more accessible – for example you may live in a remote location and finding a therapist can be hard. Finding a therapist that you ‘click’ with and can best support you, may be even harder – and then there is the issue of what if you decided to move etc – online therapy removes all of this. We have hand-selected the best HCPC registered Clinical Psychologists – who all live in varying parts of the country – and by moving therapy online, it makes therapy with these psychologists accessible! If you’re still worried about what virtual therapy might look like – please get in contact with Dr Michalczuk and can have a further conversation about this before starting.

Not at all! While most patients choose to join one of our membership plans, you can still use all our services as a non-member and simply pay our list price (see fees guide).

Please complete our online enquiry form. Dr Rosanna Michalczuk (psychology lead) will respond to your query as soon as possible. She will either match you to one of our Clinical Psychologists or if she needs further information will offer a brief telephone consultation to make sure that you are being matched to the most appropriate clinician. If you are not happy with your Clinical Psychologist for any reason, then Dr Michalczuk is always available to talk about these concerns and can endeavour to switch to a Clinical Psychologist that you feel is better suited to your needs

We have a 24-hour working day (so not including weekend) cancellation policy and will not charge you if you cancel in advance of this time. If you cancel with less than 24 hour notice, you will be charged at full fee. Cancellations can be made via the main phoneline or directly with your therapist.

However – we know in life stuff happens! We aim to be as flexible as possible and we will try to rearrange your appointment.

Yes – however the only time confidentiality will be breached if you disclose any information that the therapist is concerned that you or someone else is at serious risk. We will (if possible) always share our concerns with you before notifying relevant parties.
