Work is collaborative and tailored to the specific concerns the patient brings: anxiety, low mood, life transitions, relationship patterns, grief, complex emotional patterns, and (where appropriate) trauma-informed work.

★★★★★

Highly recommend their current teeth whitening deal. Very accommodating and lovely service. Will be back! ***Updating after completing my Invisalign to recommend again. My teeth are now super straight and Doctor Patel and his team are simply the best. Amazing service. So happy I’ve found such a good dentist.

Clare

★★★★★

I’m based in Dalston and was super self-conscious about my slightly twisted teeth. Looked at clear aligners vs Invisalign at different places but Dental & Wellness London’s expertise won me over. They used 3D tech to show exactly how my teeth would shift. Appointments were always on time, easy to pop over from Dalston. Finished with whitening and now I love smiling in photos.

Questions
people ask

If your question isn't answered here, call reception on 020 8127 4567 or email reception.

What's the difference between psychotherapy and counselling?

Considerable overlap; the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Counselling tends to be shorter-term and issue-or-event-oriented. Psychotherapy tends to be longer-term, deeper, and more focused on patterns and underlying structure. The discovery call helps establish which suits your work.

What's the difference between psychotherapy and CBT?

CBT is a specific evidence-based protocol focused on patterns of thinking and behaviour, typically short-term and structured. Integrative psychotherapy draws from CBT alongside psychodynamic, person-centred, and somatic traditions, and is typically longer-term and broader in scope.

What does psychotherapy help with?

Anxiety, low mood and depression, life transitions, relationship patterns, grief, complex emotional patterns, trauma where appropriate, and existential concerns. Not primary care for severe mental illness requiring psychiatric medication — we refer where appropriate.

How often will I have psychotherapy sessions?

Weekly 50-60 minute sessions are typical for engaged work. Some longer-term work moves to fortnightly later in the engagement. Sporadic 'as-needed' sessions don't tend to produce the relationship-based change that consistent weekly work supports.

How confidential is psychotherapy?

Confidentiality is maintained within standard professional ethical limits. The standard exception is significant risk of harm to self or others, where professional ethics require disclosure. We discuss this in the first session.

How much does psychotherapy cost?

£120 per 50-60 minute session. Weekly engagement typical. Block bookings (10 sessions paid in advance) £1,100. Initial discovery call complimentary. We do not currently offer NHS-funded sessions. Concessions sometimes available.

Do you offer trauma-informed therapy?

Yes — trauma-informed practice is integrated into our therapeutic work where appropriate, covering developmental, single-event, and complex trauma patterns. We are explicit about pacing and approach during the discovery call.

How long does psychotherapy typically take?

Highly individual. Some patients find meaningful shift within 6-12 sessions; others find deeper longer-term work over a year or longer. We agree review points to assess whether the work is moving in the direction you want.
