Frequently asked questions
How do I use my Bupa insurance to see a psychologist?
Contact Bupa to check your policy covers clinical psychology. Bupa will give you a pre-authorisation or claim number. Share this with us when you book, and we handle the rest. For many Bupa policies, you do not need a GP referral.
Do I need a GP referral to use Bupa for therapy?
Most Bupa policies do not require a GP referral for clinical psychology. You can often self-refer by contacting Bupa directly. However, some corporate or older policies may have different requirements, so check with Bupa first.
What does Bupa cover for therapy?
Bupa typically covers sessions with HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologists for conditions including anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD and more. Our team uses evidence-based approaches such as CBT, EMDR and ACT. Coverage, session limits, and any excess depend on your specific policy. We recommend contacting Bupa to confirm your benefits.
How many therapy sessions does Bupa cover?
Session limits vary by policy. Some Bupa plans cover a set number of sessions per year, while others have financial limits rather than session caps. Your Bupa authorisation will confirm how many sessions are approved. We can request extensions if clinically needed.
Can I have online therapy through my Bupa insurance?
Yes. We offer online therapy sessions that are covered by Bupa in the same way as in-person appointments. Online therapy is available UK-wide and is effective for most psychological difficulties. Many of our Bupa clients choose online sessions for convenience.
