I am a BUPA approved therapist, offering counselling, CBT, and EMDR for adults and teenagers aged 13+, face-to-face in Winchcombe, in the Cotswolds, and online across the UK. Sessions are available in English and Spanish.
You can request a therapy appointment or, if you would prefer to speak first, a free 15-minute video consultation. Therapy through BUPA is subject to authorisation and your policy cover.
If you’re using BUPA insurance, you can start the process today.
How it Works
1. Contact BUPA
Contact the BUPA claims team to request a pre-authorisation number for therapy. Let them know you have chosen an BUPA-registered therapist you would like to work with, rather than being referred elsewhere.
My registered name is Milagros Silva.
2. Confirm your cover
Ask Bupa to confirm your available therapy cover and whether you have any policy excess to pay.
3. Send me your authorisation details
Email hello@silvapsychotherapy.com with:
- Your full name and date of birth.
- BUPA membership or policy number.
- Pre-authorisation number.
- Details of any policy excess.
4. Arrange your first appointment
Once I have received your authorisation details, we can arrange your first appointment. Ongoing sessions usually take place weekly.
I invoice BUPA directly for authorised sessions. Any applicable policy excess is payable directly to me.
Need more sessions later?
If further sessions are clinically indicated, I can provide an update to BUPA and request additional authorisation.
