ACT helps with anxiety by:

• Reducing the struggle with anxious thoughts and sensations

• Supporting a more accepting relationship with fear

• Decreasing avoidance of anxiety-provoking situations

• Encouraging meaningful action despite anxiety

Rather than aiming to eliminate anxiety, ACT helps reduce its impact on your life.

Therapy sessions are charged at a rate of £85 to £130 per session, depending on the type of therapy provided and the length of the session.

This reflects the specialist training, experience, and therapeutic approach involved. Fees will always be discussed clearly at the outset.

Therapy sessions typically last between 50 and 90 minutes, depending on the therapeutic approach and your individual needs. Session length will be agreed in advance.

• Therapy sessions usually take place weekly or fortnightly, depending on your needs, the type of therapy, and what feels most helpful at different stages of therapy. Frequency can be reviewed and adjusted over time.

• • Yes. We offer a free 20-minute initial assessment.

    This is an opportunity to:

    • Talk briefly about what has brought you to therapy

    • Ask questions

    • Explore whether therapy at Atticus Psychotherapies feels like a good fit

    If the therapy we offer is not the most suitable option, we will always aim to signpost you to the most appropriate service or therapeutic approach.

• You don’t need to decide this on your own. During the initial assessment or early sessions, we will discuss your difficulties, goals, and preferences, and consider which therapeutic approach may be most helpful for you.

• Yes. All therapies offered at Atticus Psychotherapies are accredited, evidence-based, and professionally regulated.

  Therapy is delivered in line with recognised professional standards, ethical guidelines, and best clinical practice.

• The first session is an opportunity to explore your difficulties in more depth, understand your goals, and begin developing a shared understanding of what may be helpful. There is no pressure to share more than feels comfortable.

• Yes. Therapy is confidential, with clear ethical and professional boundaries. Any limits to confidentiality will be explained fully.

• Many people feel anxious before their first session — this is completely normal. Therapy is a supportive, non-judgemental space, and sessions are always paced with care and respect for your emotional safety.
