CBT Therapist in Chiswick

The Lyceum has a therapy space at 86A Chiswick High Road, Chiswick, London W4 1SY. The page is for people who are considering face to face CBT in Chiswick, an online appointment, or an initial conversation about which format may be practical. Sanah Younis is a BABCP accredited cognitive behavioural therapist. The page can explain the local arrangements and the clinic's approach, but it cannot determine whether therapy is suitable for an individual. People get in touch for many different reasons. Worry may be taking up too much of the day, intrusive thoughts may be affecting routines, a low mood may have narrowed life, or a transition may have made familiar coping strategies less available. These descriptions are not diagnoses. A fuller assessment is the place to understand the difficulty, its impact and whether CBT may be relevant. CBT is collaborative and practical. It can involve talking through situations that matter, noticing patterns in thought, behaviour and emotion, and considering what may be maintaining a difficulty. Where appropriate, therapy may include structured reflection or carefully planned between session practice. The aim is not to apply a standard script or promise a particular outcome. The work is discussed in relation to the person, their circumstances, their preferences and any relevant clinical information. An initial conversation can cover practical questions about location, online options, fees, confidentiality and current availability. If a fuller assessment is agreed, early sessions are used to develop a shared understanding of what has been happening and what you would like to change. The pace, format and length of therapy are discussed individually and can be reviewed as more becomes clear. Face to face appointments in Chiswick may suit people who value a local, in person setting. Online appointments can be discussed where travel, work, caring responsibilities or other circumstances make that more practical. Neither format is automatically right for everyone. You can ask about the available options before deciding whether to proceed. The published fee is £110 for an online session and £140 for a face to face session. Some insurance or cash plan policies may contribute to costs, but individual eligibility, authorisation, payment and reimbursement decisions should be checked directly with the provider. The clinic can explain its own fees and provide relevant receipt information after payment, but it cannot decide whether a policy will contribute. The clinical guides and approach pages offer more detail about CBT concepts and the kinds of difficulties people may bring to therapy. They are educational resources rather than a substitute for assessment. If you are considering the Chiswick location, a free 15 minute conversation can be used to ask practical questions and check current availability, without committing you to a treatment plan. It can be helpful to use that conversation to clarify what you are looking for, whether you have had support before, and what would make the process feel manageable. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or a fixed explanation. The purpose is simply to establish whether a fuller assessment, in this setting or another, is a sensible next step for your circumstances. Practical questions can include access needs, timing, whether you wish to discuss online arrangements and anything that would make the setting easier to use. Discussing these details early can help you decide whether the next step feels manageable. If you need urgent help, use the appropriate emergency or crisis route rather than waiting for an initial conversation.
