Practical information

A private clinical psychology practice offering discreet, research-led work for individuals who value privacy, rigour, and careful thinking

  • No. All engagement is handled with strict confidentiality. No information is shared with third parties, including referrers, without explicit consent.

    In the rare circumstance that professional obligations require action, for example, where there is serious risk of harm - this is managed with care and, wherever possible, in consultation.

  • Dr Bell is known for a research-led approach to psychological formulation - identifying the patterns shaping how you think and respond, and translating these into clear psychological understanding, particularly where they are longstanding, overlapping, or difficult to articulate.

    This work offers:

    • Space for thought not immediately converted into action.

    • Attention to patterns that are often bypassed.

    • A setting in which nothing needs to be managed or performed.

  • The practice works with founders, business owners, senior executives, legal and financial professionals, and public figures, as well as individuals navigating significant transitions.

    Clients are typically operating under sustained responsibility and complexity, and seek a private space in which to think clearly and make sense of experiences.

    Many are referred privately or introduced through existing professional networks.

  • This work is not appropriate where acute or multidisciplinary support is required, or where a crisis-focused service is indicated. In such cases, alternative services will be recommended.

  • A deliberately limited caseload is maintained to ensure depth and continuity. Availability is therefore restricted, and a waiting list is often in place. Enquiries are responded to personally, and current timelines can be provided.

    Alongside standard sessions, extended appointments (90-120 mins) are available where appropriate, allowing for more sustained psychological formulation.

    Psychological consultancy is also offered for non-clinical and shorter-term work, providing a broader, more integrative space for thinking in relation to complex personal or professional questions.

  • The process begins with a confidential enquiry. An initial conversation is then arranged to consider suitability and fit. There is no obligation to proceed.

  • Work is typically structured on a weekly basis in the early stages to support continuity and depth, in line with the evidence base. Over time, and depending on your goals, sessions may become more spaced.

  • Fees are provided upon enquiry and reflect the scope and nature of the work. All correspondence is handled in confidence.
