Antony Poullis
Practice Manager and Patient Coordinator
Antony is studying for a BSc (Hons) in Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London, and works alongside Joseph in the clinic. He is usually the first person you speak to when you get in touch. He answers your questions about the service and fees, sends the intake and assessment forms, arranges your appointments, and passes on the between-session materials Joseph prepares for you. He also looks after the paperwork with AXA, Bupa, Vitality and our other insurers and referral partners, so your first session is booked without delay.
Joseph provides all therapy and assessment. Antony makes sure everything around your sessions is in place, and he is the person to contact about appointments, forms and invoices.
Outside the clinic, Antony plays basketball, spends time with the family dogs, and follows everything to do with cars.
