APPOINTMENTS & FEES

Initial appointments are usually face to face at 9 Harley Street. Follow ups can be a mix of in person or online.

Initial appointments (60 minutes): £400 Comprehensive assessment of sexual difficulties, assessment for testosterone deficiency.

Initial appointments (30 minutes): £220 Suitable for GP & sexual health concerns, or if you’re already under the care of a psychosexual therapist but need a short medical assessment.

Follow up appointments (up to 30 minutes): £200

If sex and relationship therapy is appropriate I offer this at a reduced rate of £100 per 50 minute appointment, as a trainee sex & relationship therapist.

The costs of any investigations & treatment are not included in appointment costs unless stated. You can find further information about investigation fees here & medication fees here.

You are welcome to book an initial appointment to explore any concerns. I am happy to provide one off assessments to explore helpful ways forward for you. There is no obligation to have ongoing treatment from me after an initial consultation.

If you’re unsure about what appointment type is right for you, you can always email me: contact@drben.uk

TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

In order to start testosterone replacement therapy for men we need at least two blood tests four weeks apart.

You can find further information on blood tests here.

Sometimes a further set of bloods & follow up appointment is needed before starting treatment.

For women it’s usually best to start with a consultation and we can discuss any investigations needed.
