Mental Health & Psychological Support

Psychology forms part of our wider approach to joined-up care, recognising that mental and physical health are often closely connected. Support is provided by Dr Sharon Hillson, an experienced Counselling Psychologist.

What this covers

Assessment

An initial appointment to understand what you are experiencing and discuss the type of support that may be most helpful.

Therapy

Structured psychological therapy drawing on EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT and Schema Therapy, with sessions arranged around what you need rather than a fixed package. Particular experience with anxiety, trauma, emotional difficulties, psychosis and more complex mental health needs.

Joined-up care

Where helpful, and with your agreement, your psychologist and GP can work together as part of a more joined-up approach to your care.
