Psychological Therapy

What is Clinical Psychology?

Psychological Therapy, also known as Clinical Psychology, is proven to be effective for a wide range of problems including: anxiety – stress – depression - issues of loss - low self-esteem - obsessive-compulsive disorders - traumatic experiences - psychosis, eating disorders and addictions.

A Clinical Psychologist is trained in a range of different psychological models and is able to match the necessary treatment to the difficulties presented by the client.

 A warm, empathic relationship is an opportunity for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings and in doing so, are able to unravel and resolve issues affecting their lives. Psychological Therapy provides an additional element of a focussed, directive approach thereby enhancing the depth of resolution to problems.

A psychological approach offers a formulation (or map) for why people find themselves in their particular situation and will offer explanations for the origins of an individual’s difficulties.  Following this, an explicit treatment plan is recommended based on matching the most suitable psychological model to the person’s needs.

It is the aim of the therapist, through mutual awareness, for the client to resolve previous issues and ultimately to live a more fulfilled life.
