NegativeWorld Affairs

The cost of private psychology services in the UK has surged by 34% since 2022, with many psychologists now refusing new patients due to overwhelming demand. This increase means that the average cost for 12 sessions has risen to £1,550, highlighting a significant barrier for those seeking mental health support. This trend is concerning as it indicates a growing gap in access to essential mental health services, which could have long-term implications for individuals and the healthcare system.
