What happens after my initial appointment?
If you are accepted for therapy, you will be contacted by one of our administrators to schedule either your group or individual therapy sessions.
Because we receive a large number of referrals, it is possible that you may have to wait before your therapy starts.
What if I cannot attend my initial appointment?
If you are unable to attend your appointment, please let us know at least 48 hours beforehand so that we can reschedule and offer your appointment to someone else. If you do not attend your appointment without telling us, we may refer you back to your GP.
If your appointment is more than 24 hours away, please change or cancel it by using the online form below or calling us on 020 3456 7890.

The RLHIM is also a teaching hospital and from time to time other healthcare professionals may observe in outpatient clinics as part of a training course. We will always ask your permission for students to sit in during your consultation. You do not have to have students present if you would prefer not to.
