The Lyceum

Transparent fees. No surprises.

How much does CBT therapy cost?

CBT therapy pricing at The Lyceum Clinic is transparent and straightforward so you can make an informed choice about care. As a BABCP accredited CBT practice led by Sanah Younis in West London, we set clear fees for all appointments, explain what is included in each session, and provide itemised receipts suitable for insurance claims. Our standard sessions, initial assessment and focused treatment packages are billed per appointment and listed clearly at enquiry, with options for concessionary rates where appropriate and details of our cancellation policy discussed up front to avoid surprises. Some insurance or cash plan policies may contribute to CBT costs, but eligibility, authorisation, payment route and reimbursement terms depend on the individual policy. Confirm the details directly with your provider before booking. If you plan to self pay, clear pricing can help you budget for therapy. If you need more clinical background on what influences cost and treatment length, please see our clinical academic resources at /guides/. If you prefer to hear directly from our clinical lead, Sanah Younis regularly writes in the first person on our /blog/ about therapeutic choices and practical considerations. At The Lyceum Clinic we serve West London communities including Chiswick, Ealing and the Richmond venue, and you can find local therapist pages such as /cbt therapist chiswick, /cbt therapist hammersmith and /cbt therapist ealing that outline clinician availability and local appointment options. To understand how we structure sessions and what is included in the fee, visit /therapy/ for an empathetic overview of CBT and what to expect in early sessions. For a deeper explanation of specific techniques, session format and treatment planning that may affect length and cost, review our detailed approach at /approach/. Our commitment is simple: no hidden charges, clear information about insurance and reimbursement, and honest guidance from a BABCP accredited team led by Sanah Younis. If you have questions about which option best suits your needs, whether you are exploring short term focused CBT or a longer therapeutic plan, we’re here to help. Contact The Lyceum Clinic to discuss fees, insurance cover and to book an initial assessment so you can start therapy with confidence. A fee conversation does not establish a treatment plan or commit you to a particular number of sessions. The purpose is to give you enough practical information to decide whether a fuller assessment feels worthwhile. At that stage, you can ask about the appointment format, cancellation arrangements, whether online or face to face care would be more workable, and how any changes to plans are handled. The clinical discussion remains separate from any decision made by an insurer or cash plan provider. If you are comparing therapy options, it may help to separate two questions. One is whether the practical arrangements feel manageable at this point in your life. The other is whether the therapeutic approach and the working relationship feel likely to support the difficulty you are bringing. A short consultation can help clarify the first questions, while a fuller assessment is the place to consider the second with more care. It is reasonable to take time before deciding. You can review the fees, read the practical information on this page and use the consultation to ask the questions that matter to you. The clinic will explain its current arrangements clearly, but will not make assumptions about your cover, priorities or clinical needs before they have been properly discussed. This leaves room for a decision that is informed, considered and genuinely your own. You may also wish to note what would make therapy workable in practice. That might include travel, timing, privacy at home, expected work commitments or the financial room available over the coming months. These are not minor details. They can shape whether an arrangement feels realistic and whether you can engage with therapy in the way you intended. Bringing them into the first conversation can make planning clearer.
