Adult Psychological Therapies
Our adult psychological therapies address diverse mental health challenges through personalised treatment plans. We employ evidence-based approaches like CBT and schema therapy to treat anxiety, depression, and trauma. Our experienced clinicians work collaboratively with clients to develop coping strategies and promote lasting recovery. Each therapy programme includes comprehensive assessment, regular progress reviews, and tailored interventions designed to meet individual needs and circumstances.
Autism Assessment
We provide comprehensive autism assessments using NICE guidelines and advanced diagnostic tools. Our specialists offer post-diagnostic support to help individuals understand and manage their neurodiverse traits. The assessment process includes detailed developmental history, observational analysis, and practical recommendations for personal and professional life adjustments. We support both diagnosed individuals and those seeking clarification of their neurodiverse profile.
ADHD Assessment
Our ADHD assessments follow NICE and Royal College of Psychiatrists guidelines, incorporating comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and practical support strategies. The process examines developmental history, current symptoms, and environmental factors affecting presentation. Each assessment includes feedback sessions with tailored recommendations for managing symptoms in educational, workplace, and personal contexts, focusing on developing strengths while addressing challenges.
Cosmetic Surgery Support
Our specialist clinical psychologists provide pre- and post-operative support for cosmetic surgery patients. Affiliated with BAAPS, we assess psychological readiness for surgery and offer ongoing support to manage expectations and outcomes. Our services help patients develop realistic goals, address body image concerns, and ensure surgical decisions align with long-term psychological wellbeing through both in-person and online consultations.
Trauma Treatment
We specialise in treating trauma-related conditions using evidence-based therapies like EMDR and CBT. Our approach addresses both acute traumatic events and complex developmental trauma through structured treatment programmes. Therapists help clients process distressing memories, reduce hypervigilance symptoms, and develop coping mechanisms. Treatment integrates mind-body connections to address both psychological and physiological impacts of trauma in a safe therapeutic environment.
