Using your BHSF cash plan for private therapy
Can you use a BHSF cash plan for CBT?
You may be able to use a BHSF cash plan towards private CBT if your individual plan includes the relevant benefit. BHSF explains that health cash plans can return all or part of the cost of eligible services, subject to policy terms, benefit limits, and qualifying rules. Check your plan before relying on reimbursement. The Lyceum provides CBT with BABCP-accredited therapist Sanah Younis in West London and online. Sessions are £110 online and £140 face-to-face. After payment, we can provide an itemised receipt with the practitioner, treatment description, date, and fee paid. The Lyceum cannot decide whether BHSF will reimburse a session: that decision rests with BHSF and your plan terms. For a free 15-minute consultation, visit /start/. You can also use the cover checker at /insurance-cover-check/, read our health cash-plan guide at /fees-health-cash-plans-cbt/, and check BHSF’s current policy information. Choosing a therapist is personal, and funding should not add confusion. A free 15-minute consultation can help you understand how appointments at The Lyceum work, whether online or face-to-face care may suit you, and what information we can provide after payment. It cannot replace a coverage decision from your cash-plan provider. Before relying on a claim, ask your provider whether the particular therapy benefit applies to CBT, whether any referral or authorisation is required, which professional registrations are accepted, what receipt details they need, and how much of your available benefit remains. Keep their reply with your policy documents. The Lyceum will be clear about its fees and can provide accurate treatment and receipt information, while your provider remains responsible for deciding eligibility, reimbursement amount, and payment timing. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, call 999 or attend A&E. This funding information is general guidance and does not replace personalised clinical, financial, legal, or insurance advice.
