Clinical Psychologists offer assessment and treatment to help with people with mental health difficulties. We integrate science, theory, and clinical knowledge to understand, prevent, and relieve psychologically-based distress or behaviour. We work to promote subjective well-being and personal development. 

​

​

    All three are specially trained to treat people with mental health difficulties. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. They provide diagnosis and mostly treat using pharmaceutical interventions. A Clinical Psychologist is also a doctor (clinically not medically trained). They use a range of psychological theories and frameworks to assess and treat mental health difficulties. A Psychotherapist is an umbrella term referring to anyone who has a specialist training in delivering a type of psychological therapy. It usually refers to a practitioner who has trained in one type of therapy such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). 

​

​

    Clinical Psychologists work with clients who have wide range of mental and physical health problems including anxiety, depression, pain management, and relationship issues. We see people of all ages; children and families, and adults. We see everyone as an individual and therapy is tailored to an your specific needs and goals. 

​

​

    The focus of our sessions will be about us getting to know you and building a supportive therapeutic relationship. We want you to feel comfortable. In the initial sessions our psychologists will carry out an assessment. We will find out information about you, and your difficulties. Some times we may also use questionnaires. As part of the assessment we will find out what your goals for therapy are and make a plan about the type of therapy that would be most effective for achieving them.

​

     Our psychologists are trained and have many years of expertise in delivering a wide range of different therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive analytic therapy. We will discuss with you therapy options and recommend which we believe will be best suited for your hopes and goals, and outline how the therapy works.

​

​

      We want to deliver an quality service and therefore we all the therapy that we provide is evidenced-based and has scientific credibility. Clinical Psychologist have extensive training in utilising therapeutic techniques that have research evidence to show their effectiveness in reducing mental health problems.

   

​

     Our sessions are 60 minutes. The duration of therapy is dependent on your needs and goals. We will discuss this during our assessment sessions. ​

 

     Therapy sessions are £120 for the initial session and then £120 for any subsequent sessions. Payment is taken either prior to the session through bank transfer or we accept card or cash after your appointment. 

​

    We take self-referral so to book an appointment or to find out more about the services we can offer please contact us on 01484 500 232.

    

    You will speak directly with a Clinical Psychologist as they will want a brief idea about what your mental health concerns are and be able to advise you on whether psychological support would be helpful for you, as well as answer any questions you have about therapy.
