Mental Health Teams
Offers assessment and intervention for stress and burn-out, depression and substance abuse in professionals where there may be conflicts of interest with in-house occupational health.
There are particular constraints on doctors seeking help from their peers and many still self-diagnose and self-prescribe. We offer a discreet, confidential health service for Medics so that they receive appropriate, timely care.
Offering time-limited group work to help and support specific groups and networks, for instance foster carers with very challenging children, or the partners of adults with Autism.
Ongoing consultation is one of the best models of training, allowing the development of protected time for thinking and developing frameworks for managing case work or complex clinical issues.
Prolonged stress can lead to burn-out, exhaustion and distress. Individual Psychotherapy or Group
Support can offer coping strategies and space for reflection.
