If you have Vitality health insurance, your plan may include access to talking therapies such as counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

 

I am a Vitality-recognised therapist offering face-to-face therapy in Harrow, North West London, as well as online sessions across the UK.

 

Vitality's current core health-insurance cover includes access to talking therapy, while enhanced mental-health cover may provide additional benefits. Your individual entitlement will depend on the plan you hold.

 

Using Your Vitality Health Insurance for Therapy

 

Vitality currently allows members with eligible health insurance to self-refer for mental-health support.

 

You can usually begin by logging into Member Zone or the Vitality Care Hub to check the treatment pathway available under your plan.

 

Depending on your cover, talking therapy may include counselling or CBT delivered face-to-face or online by approved providers.

 

How Does the Vitality Process Work?

 

1. Check Your Vitality Plan

Log into Member Zone and check the mental-health benefits included in your policy.

 

2. Refer Yourself for Mental-Health Support

Vitality currently allows eligible members to self-refer for mental-health support, meaning you may not need to obtain a GP referral first.

 

A GP referral may also be used where appropriate.

 

3. Confirm Your Provider and Approval

Before beginning treatment, check that

 

• your chosen therapist is recognised by Vitality

• the proposed therapy is covered

• the sessions have been approved where required

• any excess or contribution has been confirmed

 

4. Contact Aligned Mindset Therapy

Once your treatment pathway has been confirmed, please provide:

 

• your Vitality membership number

• claim or authorisation information

• number of approved sessions where applicable

• details of any excess or contribution

 

We can then arrange your appointment.

 

What Can Therapy Help With?

 

Depending on your Vitality cover and clinical needs, therapy may support difficulties such as:

 

• anxiety

• panic

• social anxiety

• low mood and depression

• stress

• trauma and PTSD

• low self-esteem

• grief

• perfectionism

• emotional overwhelm

• adjustment to life changes

• relationship difficulties

 

​

Counselling and CBT Through Vitality

Vitality currently includes talking therapies within its mental-health benefits.

 

Counselling

Counselling can provide a supportive space to explore experiences, emotions and difficulties such as loss, stress, relationship problems or major life changes.

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT is a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions and behaviour interact.

 

It may be particularly useful for difficulties such as anxiety, panic, depression, OCD-related difficulties and PTSD where clinically appropriate.

 

Other Therapeutic Approaches

As an integrative therapist, I may also draw on Compassion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other approaches where suitable.

 

The treatment used will need to fit your clinical needs and the therapy authorised under your Vitality policy.
