Why Does Ketamine Therapy Cost Vary?

Understanding ketamine therapy costs helps you assess the value in the care you receive. Here’s what impacts pricing:

• Expertise and Safety: Our treatments are led by Dr. Saal, a highly experienced psychiatric specialist. You are supported by an expert team every step of the way.

• Setting: Clinic-based sessions are more cost-effective, while home visits reflect additional travel and setup requirements.

• Duration and Personalisation: Each session includes tailored preparation, careful medical supervision, and post-session integration to ensure the best outcomes.

We combine medical excellence with compassionate care to help you feel safe, seen, and supported throughout your journey.

Additional Therapies to Support Your Results

Ketamine therapy is most effective when paired with integrative treatments to address underlying emotional patterns and create lasting change. At The Burlington Clinic, we offer:

• Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

  Uncover and work through the root causes of emotional distress. By exploring patterns from your past and present, psychodynamic psychotherapy helps deepen the emotional and mental benefits of ketamine therapy.

• EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

  A proven, targeted therapy for trauma and anxiety. EMDR uses guided eye movements to help process difficult memories and release emotional blockages, often enhancing the therapeutic effects of ketamine.

• Music Therapy

  Music has a profound ability to support deep emotional reconnection and release. At The Burlington Clinic, we integrate music in ways that are both deeply personal and therapeutic:

  • Live Music Therapy
    Led by Dr. Saal, a professional musician as well as psychiatrist, live music creates a uniquely grounding and immersive environment during ketamine therapy. Live sessions are tailored and adaptive to your personal musical preferences, enhancing emotional connection and relaxation.

  • Digital Music
    If preferred, you can bring your own playlist, work collaboratively to build one for your experience together, or choose a playlist specifically designed for psychedelic therapy.

• Sophrology

  A gentle, mind-body practice combining breathwork, visualisation, and relaxation techniques to restore balance and calm. Sophrology helps regulate your nervous system, reduce anxiety, and prepare your mind for the introspective nature of ketamine therapy.

  What to Expect: Guided techniques that combine breathwork with body awareness, tailored to enhance relaxation and promote emotional clarity.

Why Integrative Care Matters

At The Burlington Clinic, we believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. By combining ketamine therapy with carefully selected somatic and psychotherapeutic treatments, we ensure:

• Deeper Emotional Healing: Address root causes and release emotional blocks.

• Enhanced Relaxation and Openness: Therapies like music and sophrology help you feel safe and supported.

• Long-Term Results: Integrative care strengthens the benefits of ketamine therapy, leading to lasting emotional and mental well-being.

Our holistic approach ensures that every aspect of your journey is cared for. Whether it’s through insight and deep emotional processing of EMDR, the creative power of music, the gentle guidance of sophrology, or targeted psychodynamic psychotherapy, we are here to walk beside you.

NHS vs Private Ketamine Therapy

• NHS Options: Ketamine therapy is not widely available through the NHS as it is still considered an emerging treatment. While esketamine nasal spray (Spravato) is approved for treatment-resistant depression, availability is highly limited, and a referral from a psychiatrist is required.

• Private Care: Private clinics offer ketamine therapy as infusions (IV) or via esketamine nasal spray. Costs vary depending on location, treatment setting, and provider expertise. At The Burlington Clinic, you can access treatment immediately with a fully personalised plan and expert support.

Your mental health deserves timely care and attention.
