You contact NHS Talking Therapies Plymouth, known locally as Plymouth Options, yourself. Self-referral in England means no GP letter is needed beforehand. They ask how things have been and offer what fits your situation. Waits vary through the year, and nobody objects to private sessions running at the same time.

There is no charge for the first 15-minute consultation. After that, an hour is £80, ninety minutes is £100 and two hours is £120, paid session by session. Anxiety work is usually done in the hour, since the useful part is short repeated practice rather than one long conversation about it.

Sessions can run right through a separation and continue afterwards, which is often when things actually surface.

Yes, and it makes a practical target. We look at what happens in the minutes beforehand, how quickly your breathing changes, and what you have quietly started doing to avoid it.

Plymouth's NHS Talking Therapies service is free through self-referral, though anxiety support can involve a wait. Privately with me, sessions cost £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for 120, after a free 15-minute call. Both can run alongside each other if useful.

For anxiety, online suits Plymouth well, given how far the city sits from support elsewhere. We meet by secure video, with some evening slots for those working around the dockyard or Derriford.
