1. Talk to our clinics.
It can be helpful to take advice when seeking referral for psychoanalytic psychotherapy. All BPC registered psychotherapists are experienced in assessment and diagnostic consultations and a preliminary consultation can help you decide if psychoanalytic psychotherapy would be suitable for you.
Several member organisations of the BPC have referral services, which can assist in finding a therapist, and some also have clinical services offering therapy or analysis at reduced fees.
1: Referral Services for Adults
2: Reduced Fee Schemes for Adults
3: Reduced Fee Schemes for Children & Adolescents
4. Referral Services for Children
5. Referral Services for Couples
2. Talk to your doctor.
In some areas psychoanalytic psychotherapy is available from the NHS but there is often a long wait for this and where it is available, this may only be for a short period. In addition to making a referral to a therapist within the NHS, your doctor may also be able to provide you with details of locally-based private therapists.
The NHS Choices website offers a comprehensive guide to mental health issues, with information that may help you talk to your doctor.
