Psychotherapy provides long-term, structured support for emotional, relational, and psychological challenges. Our therapists work with you to explore patterns, gain insight, and develop strategies for lasting change and improved emotional wellbeing.
Why you might need it
Psychotherapy is longer-term talking therapy for deeper emotional, relational, or personality issues, trauma, grief, or recurring psychological patterns.

Who will do it?
Our patients are at the heart of what we do and we want you to be in control of your care.
All of our psychotherapists are fully qualified and benefit from working in our modern, well-equipped hospitals and clinics.
Before your treatment
We're here to help you every step of the way. You will have a formal consultation with the psychotherapist of your choice. During this time you will be able to explain your medical history, symptoms and any concerns you might have.
Your therapist will discuss your medical history with you and perform a thorough assessment of your condition. They will also discuss with you whether they feel any other tests or referral is needed.
With your permission our therapist will liaise with your GP or consultant and provide a detailed discharge summary at the end of your treatment.

What psychotherapy may involve:

Aftercare
