How do I find a  psychotherapist through APEL?

In the first instance, you will need to contact us. Our address is c/o 36 Richmond Road, Leytonstone E11 4BU. Our telephone number is 020 8556 5089. Please leave a message on the answerphone to start with.

When you contact us, you can firstly ask for further written information about psychoanalytic psychotherapy, about APEL and, if you are anxious about finances, about the APEL Charitable Trust.

You can also ask to arrange an initial assessment appointment for yourself. The referrals co-ordinator (who is a psychotherapist), may ask you a few brief questions about yourself or send you a questionnaire to fill in. They will then arrange an initial appointment, and send you the details through the post.

After the assessment process is completed (which usually involves one or two sessions, occasionally more) the assessor will undertake either to find a psychotherapist for you, or to refer you to a more appropriate source of help. Consideration will be given to your geographical, time and financial requirements.

If you are under 18 we would need to refer you elsewhere.
