CBT Therapist in Hammersmith

The Lyceum does not have a face to face office in Hammersmith is at 36 Paradise Road, London W6 0JS. This page is for people considering face to face or virtual CBT with Sanah Younis, a BABCP accredited cognitive behavioural therapist. The information explains 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 everyday routines, relationships or work. Those experiences can have many explanations and the examples on this page are not diagnoses. A fuller assessment is used to understand what has been happening, what impact it is having and whether CBT may be relevant. CBT is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Sessions can involve discussing situations that matter, noticing links between thoughts, emotions and behaviour, and considering practical ways to test or approach a difficulty. What is discussed depends on the assessment, preferences, circumstances and any relevant clinical information. Therapy is not presented as a fixed programme or a promise of a particular outcome. An initial conversation can be used to ask 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 the work are discussed individually and may be reviewed as more becomes clear. Virtual appointments can be discussed where travel, work, caring responsibilities or other circumstances make that more suitable. Face to face appointments at approved West London venues, 36 Paradise Road, can also be discussed subject to suitability and current availability. Neither format is automatically right for everyone. You can ask about the 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 cannot determine whether a policy will contribute. The clinical guides and approach pages offer more detailed educational material about CBT and the kinds of difficulties people may bring to therapy. They are not a substitute for assessment. If you are considering CBT while living in Hammersmith, 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, including any previous support and what would make the process feel manageable. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or a fixed account of what is wrong. The purpose of an initial discussion is to decide whether a fuller assessment, in this setting or another, is a sensible next step for your circumstances. You remain free to consider the information afterwards before making any decision about continuing. There is no obligation to continue after that conversation. 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.
