One-to-One Therapy

All clinicians at Plum Psychology complete a rigorous interview and onboarding process including:

• HCPC registration check

• Enhanced DBS

• Verification of qualifications and specialist training

• Proof of professional indemnity insurance

• Safeguarding training

• Annual declarations of supervision, ICO registration and insurance

• Agreement to all Plum policies (safeguarding, data protection, risk, complaints)

We only work with clinicians with significant experience supporting trauma, burnout, anxiety and professionals in high-stress roles.

Living and working in the spotlight can add unique pressures that accelerate burnout.

Some of our clients are high-visibility professionals who have extra concerns about privacy. Online sessions are conducted on zoom so you can work from a private location of your choice. If you would like in-person sessions these can be provided at Hestercombe House, a quiet stately home in Somerset, or a home visit can be discussed and arranged where there is availability.

We never share information with employers, insurers, or medical records unless you request it, and our admin staff have had extra training on this. Communication and billing can be adapted to your needs - for example, using neutral subject lines or non-branded invoices. Clinical notes are always securely stored, and your confidentiality is always our highest priority.

Yes. Neurodiversity is an umbrella term that includes autism, ADHD, AuADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, OCD and more. Our therapists are experienced in adapting their approaches for people who have traits or diagnoses within the neurodivergent spectrum. We are a neuroaffirming psychology practice, which means we respect and value neurological differences and tailor therapy to work with - not against - the way your brain works best. We have had feed back that our EMDR intensives work particularly well with neurodivergent clients due to the pacing and length of these sessions.

You do not need a diagnosis to work with us because we focus on whatever is most important to you now.

We are all qualified as HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologists or Counselling Psychologists. This means that we have been trained to a high standard and are up-to-date with our training and have high standards in our work as is required by our professional body.

In addition to this we have additional accreditation with other governing bodies for specific therapy models such as the EMDR Association and British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).

We are registered with some health insurance companies but not all. Please note we are unable to accept AXA or BUPA Standard at this time.
