Our waiting list is now open for self-referrals.
Referrals for WTC psychotherapy
Unfortunately, WTC is not able to accept referrals for psychotherapy from statutory agencies, NHS providers or GPs at the current time, unless funding accompanies the referral.
We have closed the waiting list to statutory providers for the time being.
We are still accepting self-referrals from women themselves and from local voluntary sector partners.
We currently have a waiting list of more than 40 women.
Demand for our service is high and our capacity and resources is extremely limited. We are funded for specific activity under two local contracts and we otherwise rely on funding from a small number of supportive charitable trusts.
Currently 40% of our referrals come via NHS agencies and GPs, but we never receive any funding with these referrals. We assume that referrers imagine our service is ‘free’, whereas in fact it costs £68 for us to provide a woman with one session of psychotherapy.
We need to consider women first and foremost and to make sure we do not have to ask them to wait for an unreasonable amount of time to see a therapist. Waiting time is a source of distress for women and we need to be able to manage this.
If you are from an NHS provider or a statutory agency and you want to have a conversation about referring and funding a client or patient, then please contact our chief executive: margaret@womenstherapycentre.co.uk.
