CBT Therapist in Ealing

The Lyceum has a therapy space at 12B St Mary's Road, Ealing, London W5 5ES. This page is for people who are considering face to face CBT in Ealing, online therapy, or an initial conversation about which option may be practical. Sanah Younis is a BABCP accredited cognitive behavioural therapist. The page describes local arrangements and the clinic's approach, but it cannot determine whether therapy is appropriate for an individual. People may enquire when worry, intrusive thoughts, a low mood, panic, stress or a life change is affecting routines, relationships or work. These experiences can have different explanations and the examples on this page are not diagnoses. A fuller assessment is used to understand what has been happening, its impact and whether CBT may be relevant. CBT is collaborative and practical. Sessions can include 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 work is discussed in relation to the assessment, preferences, circumstances and relevant clinical information rather than a fixed script or promised outcome. An initial conversation can cover practical questions about location, online sessions, fees, confidentiality and current availability. If a fuller assessment is agreed, early sessions develop a shared understanding of the difficulty and the changes that may be useful to explore. The pace, format and length of therapy are discussed individually and can be reviewed as more becomes clear. Face to face appointments in Ealing 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. 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 help to bring a short note of what you would like to understand, 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 decide whether a fuller assessment is a sensible next step. You remain free to consider the information afterwards. There is no obligation to continue, and it is appropriate to ask any practical question that would help you make a considered decision about the next step. 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.
