Hi, I'm Spencer, Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unheard. Life’s challenges can be confusing and heavy to carry alone. You may be looking for someone to truly listen, help you untangle what you’re feeling, and support you in finding your own way forward. This can bring greater clarity, confidence, and a sense of not being alone.

Cigna and Evernorth Counsellors
Cigna and its healthcare division Evernorth provide behavioral health coverage though managed care plans and Medicare Advantage plans. Outside the U.S., Cigna provides insurance through Cigna Global Health Benefits.

Cigna and Evernorth HMO plans only cover services from in-network providers and require a referral from your primary care physician. EPO plans also utilize in-network providers but generally do not require a PCP referral. PPO plans offer the most flexibility and a larger network of providers, and may include some out of network benefits.

Occasionally Cigna or Evernorth Counsellors in Bolton, England will only accept a limited number of in-network insurance patients in their practice, so it's important to check if your plan is accepted when you book a consultation.

Based in Connecticut, Cigna insures 180 million people in more than 30 countries around the world. Cigna rebraded its health services division as Evernorth in September 2021.

Here’s a link to more information on

how insurance works to cover behavioral health benefits.
