Psychological Therapy and Intervention
How can we help? - What can we help with? - Therapies and Approaches
We provide psychological therapy and intervention to adults, children, and young people experiencing mental health difficulties, trauma, and other psychological and emotional difficulties. Psychological therapy aims to help individuals and those who support them to better understand and manage issues which may be causing distress or difficulty so they can live fulfilling lives and improve their emotional wellbeing.
Issues with work with include:What type of therapy someone has usually depends on what issues they are wanting to work on and which therapy or approach best fits their needs. We tailor psychological therapy to the individual, drawing upon our training in different therapies to meet individual need and therapy goals. We also have specialist skills in adapting therapy and other psychological therapies to work with autistic individuals, and those with learning disabilities and difficulties.
Psychological therapies we offer include:Clinical Psychology (Fee: £130 per 50-minute session)
Clinical Psychology sessions are with one of our Clinical Psychologists usually on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Clinical Psychologists work with a range of mental health problems and emotional needs and can draw upon a range of psychological therapies and approaches when working with individuals and families.As Clinical Psychologists we draw upon psychological formulation – a way of developing a shared understanding of your or your child’s issues and needs. This shared understanding informs intervention and therapy to work collaboratively with you and support change.
Clinical Psychology sessions can support those who are experiencing mental health difficulties, trauma, and other psychological and emotional difficulties, including those who may have more complex and longer-term needs. Clinical Psychology sessions can also be helpful to those wishing to develop their understanding of their mental health, emotions, and behaviour.
Sessions with an Assistant Psychologist (Fee: £75 per 50-minute session)
These sessions and interventions are provided by one of our Assistant Psychologists who works directly with you or your child. Working with an Assistant Psychologist is typically appropriate where issues are considered less complex. Our Assistant Psychologists work under the supervision of our Clinical Psychologists, thinking about someone’s needs and the work together, though the work itself is delivered by our Assistant Psychologist.
This work is usually completed in blocks of 6-8 or 10-12 sessions depending on need, though sessions are booked and paid for session-by-session. Appointments are typically weekly or fortnightly.
Sessions with an Assistant Psychologist often focuses on supporting an individual’s understanding and learning strategies for improving emotional wellbeing to then put these into practice in their lives with support from those around them.
These sessions may be appropriate for those wishing to address a specific phobia, milder difficulties with anxiety and mood, for children and young people needing support to understand and manage emotions such as anger and anxiety, and for those wishing to develop their self-esteem and manage day-to-day stress.
