One of the key advantages of choosing an independent psychologist is that you can be seen quickly and at a time that suits you. I don’t usually operate a waiting list and typically offer an initial assessment appointment withing 1-2 weeks of initial enquiry/free consultation call, if you decide to go ahead. If I don’t have any availability, I will do what I can to pass on details of another psychologist (or suitable mental health professional) that does have current availability.
