Clinical Psychology

 

Introduction to Clinical Psychology

Psychology is the study of the mind and behaviour. Clinical Psychologists use psychological knowledge to alleviate psychological distress using evidence based talking therapies tailored to the needs of the individual. Clinical Psychologists operate a strict confidentiality policy which will be discussed further with you at your initial appointment.  

Our clinical Psychologists have experience of working with the following issues:

Adults and couples:                                  

·         Fertility problems         

·         Pain management

·         Chronic fatigue

·         Low mood

·         Anxiety

·         Anger management

·         Low self esteem

·         Couples counselling

Additional services for young people

·         Soiling (encopresis)

·         Wetting (enuresis)

·         Selective mutism

·         Attachment difficulties

·         Behavioural problems



This list is non-exhaustive; please contact us with any other concerns


Rather than working from one therapeutic model, our psychologists draw on a range of evidence based approaches. This ensures that the approach meets your own unique needs.

The main approaches used are:


Cognitive behavioural therapy

Focuses on understanding and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that maintain psychological distress.

Narrative therapy

Explores the use of narratives in understanding identity. Therapy aims to understand how problem saturated stories/identities are developed and working to identify preferred stories as a way of alleviating psychological distress.

Systemic therapy

Is interested in the interactions between different members of a system (usually the family) and how these patterns of interaction can maintain psychological difficulty. Therapist works with different members of the family (or with couples) to explore and understand these patterns of interaction and work to generate alternative more helpful ways of relating to one another.
