Recovery and Wellbeing

Our psychological services focus on the individual’s current psychological functioning in order to maximise recovery and wellbeing.

Initial assessment involves a clinical interview to explore the individual’s history, objective measures of symptomatology and a review of current functioning with the goal of providing a diagnosis and clinical conceptualisation to guide future intervention.

Clinical treatment addresses the psychosocial factors contributing to an individual’s current distress such as thinking patterns, behaviours, lifestyle issues, coping skills and interpersonal skills.
