Psychology

Our consultant clinical psychologist provides specialist support using cognitive behavioural therapy and interpersonal therapy.

These techniques can be used to help patients with:

• anxiety disorder
• bereavement
• depression
• post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• major trauma

Cognitive behavioural therapy aims to help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. The therapy helps you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way but deconstructing them into smaller parts. The main aim of the therapy is to look for practical ways to improve your state of mind on a daily basis.

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured and focused approach to treat mood disorders. The main goal of IPT is to improve the quality of a client’s interpersonal relationships and social functioning to help reduce their distress.

IPT can help with:

• Social isolation
• Unresolved grief
• Retirement
• Divorce
• Interpersonal disputes
