FAQs About Online Child Counselling in the UK
Find answers to common questions about online child counselling, appointments, confidentiality, fees, psychologists and how LeapHope supports NRI and Indian families across the UK.
No. LeapHope's psychologists are RCI (India) registered, not BACP or BPS registered, so sessions aren't NHS-funded. In exchange, sessions start from £14, with no GP referral needed to begin.
A GP referral to NHS CAMHS typically means a wait that can run into months, and assignment to whichever clinician has availability. With LeapHope, you browse full profiles, choose your child's psychologist directly, and can usually get a first appointment within 24 hours.
No. NHS wait times and services vary widely between different trusts and between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. LeapHope's online sessions give every family the same access, regardless of postcode or which nation you're in.
