I am a private English and Spanish-speaking Clinical Psychologist in Camden, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and affiliated with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Peruvian School of Psychologists. I studied a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a Major in Clinical Psychology in Peru. My clinical experience started 11 years ago, when I did an internship in a Psychiatric Hospital, focusing on patients with addictions and severe mental health issues such as schizophrenia. I also was an intern at an NGO, where the work was focused on high risk and extreme poverty communities in Lima, Peru, where several teenagers I worked with were victims of abuse and trauma. For the following 7 years I worked as a school counsellor and private psychologist in Peru. As a school counsellor, I worked with cases of depression, self-harm, eating disorders, as well as anxiety and social difficulties. As a private psychologist, I worked with children, adolescents, and adults, mainly focusing of issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Since moving to London, I have continued working as an online therapist and as a Psychology teacher at a secondary school in London.

Dr Aldo GabardoClinical Psychologist

HCPC Registered20+ years of experience

I am a Clinical Psychologist in London registered with the Health Care Professional Council (HCPC). I am a Chartered Psychologist with the Italian Psychological Society since 2003, and I qualified as a Psychotherapist in 2007. Although psychodynamic theories have always fascinated me, I focussed my studies on cognitive and behavioural therapy because of its evidence-based approach. My favourite author is Albert Ellis, the father of Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy; he believes that we are anxious or depressed because of the way we think about our life. Aim of REBT is disputing irrational (and noxious) thoughts and replacing them with more rational (and healthier) thoughts. From 2007 to 2014, I have been working as private psychotherapist and school counsellor in Rome but I was not happy about my private and professional life, so I decided to move to the UK. Consistently with what I say to my clients (we can always work our way to happiness), I left everything behind and started a new and exciting experience in London. While waiting for my registration with the Health and Care Profession Council (HCPC) I worked as support worker or teaching assistant, but this never affected my firm determination to work as a psychologist in the UK. After two fantastic experiences as honorary psychologist with NHS (one with learning disabilities and the other with older people), I was finally (and proudly) registered with HCPC in 2019. I worked as a clinical psychologist with Central North West London (CNWL) NHS Trust from 2019 to 2021. Since 2021, I have worked with the North London Foundation Trust (NLFT). I was with the Enfield Learning Disabilities Service (EILDS) from 2021 to 2023, and I have been working with the Barnet Learning Disabilities Service (BLDS) since then. I started working with Mind a Porter in 2020.

Common Questions

How long does verification take?

Typically 24-48 hours. Our team contacts HEALIX to confirm your coverage and sessions allowed.

Will I have any out-of-pocket costs?

This depends on your specific HEALIX plan. If there's a co-pay or if HEALIX doesn't cover the full amount, we'll charge any shortfall to your payment method on file.

What if my claim is denied?

If HEALIX doesn't approve coverage, we'll notify you immediately and you can choose to pay privately or reschedule when coverage is available.

Can I choose my own therapist?

Yes. You can browse our directory of vetted, HCPC-registered therapists and choose someone whose expertise, approach and availability suit you. Your HEALIX coverage works with any therapist on our platform who accepts insurance.

Are online therapy sessions covered by HEALIX?

Yes, most HEALIX plans cover online therapy sessions. We deliver these via secure Google Meet or Zoom, so you can attend from anywhere in the UK. This is especially convenient for international clients covered by HEALIX.

How many sessions will HEALIX cover?

The number of sessions depends on your specific HEALIX plan and policy. Some plans cover a set number of sessions per year, while others offer open-ended coverage. Our team will confirm your session allowance during verification.

Do I need a GP referral to use my HEALIX insurance?

Some HEALIX plans require a GP referral or pre-authorisation, while others allow self-referral. Check your policy documents or contact HEALIX directly. If a referral is needed, we can guide you through the process.

What happens if I need to cancel a session?

We ask for at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations. Late cancellations or no-shows may not be covered by your HEALIX plan and could result in a cancellation fee charged to your saved payment method.
