6 private psychologists across 3 clinics in Scotland

Pick a psychologist from the list above, then choose a day from their availability. Where a practice has connected its booking system to Quokka you complete the booking here. Otherwise we pass you through to the practice's own booking page to confirm the appointment — either way you have chosen a named psychologist in Scotland before you get there.

Every psychologist listed shows a fortnight of availability, so you can see which days have appointments before you click through. Clinics in Scotland often have same-week appointments, and where a clinician's next free slot falls beyond the fortnight we show that date instead.

Quokka currently lists 6 private psychologists across 3 clinics in Scotland. That is the number with a live listing today, each shown by name with their own availability, and it changes as clinics are added.

Fees are set by each practice, not by Quokka. Where a clinic publishes its prices we show them on the listing so you can compare psychologists in Scotland before booking. Prices vary with appointment length and with the individual clinician, and a first appointment is often longer and dearer than a follow-up.

Usually not — most private psychologists accept self-referral, so you can book directly. Some treatments need a referral first, and if you are claiming on private medical insurance your insurer will normally want one. Check with the clinic if you are not sure.

Some can. The availability shown against each psychologist covers every day of the fortnight, weekends included, so you can see at a glance which psychologists in Scotland have Saturday or Sunday appointments. Evening opening varies by clinic — the practice's own booking page shows the exact times on any given day.

Availability is read automatically from each practice's own booking system and refreshed through the day, so it can be a few hours old. On listings a practice has not yet claimed, Quokka cannot confirm the times — treat them as indicative, and the practice's own booking page as the final word on what is free.

Clinics carrying out regulated activities must register with the Care Quality Commission, and where we can match a practice to its CQC registration we show the rating alongside the date it was inspected. Not every kind of private clinic is CQC-registered, so an absent rating does not mean a clinic is unregulated. Individual psychologists are also registered with their own professional body, which you can check by name.

Yes. Quokka lists psychologists in Scotland individually — by name, with their clinic, their qualifications and their own availability — so you are choosing a particular psychologist rather than taking whichever appointment a practice offers next.
