Psychological Treatment

Once your assessment is complete, your psychologist will use this information to develop a thoughtful plan to support you. This plan is shaped around your needs, preferences, and what feels most helpful to you.

Depending on your situation, this may include:

  • Suggestions for self-help resources, such as books or guided materials;
  • Sign-posting for psycho-educational courses that may be helpful to you;
  • Continuing therapy sessions with the same Clinical Psychologist.

We recognise that starting therapy involves a commitment of time, money, and emotional energy. It is important to us that any support we recommend feels appropriate, worthwhile, and carefully considered.

In some situations, we may suggest that a client seeks support through the NHS. This is usually where a more comprehensive or multidisciplinary package of care may be needed than we are able to provide independently. Where possible, we will discuss this openly with you and help you think through your options.

Therapy

Following your assessment, and based on the shared understanding (formulation) developed together, your psychologist will talk with you about which type of therapy may be most suitable.

This decision takes into account:

  • The nature of the difficulties you are experiencing;
  • Your preferences and views about what might help;
  • Your personality and individual circumstances.

We offer a range of evidence-based therapies, including:

  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT);
  • Schema Therapy / Schema-Focused Therapy;
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR);
  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT);
  • Solution-Focused Therapy;
  • Narrative Therapy.

Your psychologist may draw on different aspects of these approaches to best support you. Our aim is to offer psychological therapy that is carefully tailored to you, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
