Our psychologists have expertise in treating all forms of psychological trauma presentations. Post traumatic Stress Disorder is an emotional response following exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence (DSM-5). Complex Post traumatic Stress Disorder may develop following exposure to an event or serious of events of an extremely threatening or horrific nature, most commonly prolonged or repetitive events from which escape is difficult or impossible (e.g., torture, slavery, genocide campaigns, prolonged domestic violence, repeated childhood sexual or physical abuse, etc.) (ICD-11).

We provide evidence-based psychological intervention for gender-diverse adolescents and adults. These include exploring one’s gender identity and managing gender dysphoria, navigating gender identity milestones, dealing with minority stress (e.g., homophobia), internalised shame about your sexuality, and navigating relationships.

Our psychologists can treat anger issues at varying levels of severity. Anger is typically what we call “secondary emotion”, which masks “primary emotions” of embarrassment, insecurity, hurt, shame, or fear.

The aim is to teach emotion literacy and emotion regulation strategies, which will help the individual to manage their emotion dysregulation in the future.

Psychosis is a condition that affects the way a person’s brain processes information. It is often characterised by a disconnection from reality. Symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, disorganisation, and a lack of insight into their illness.

This is a psychiatric illness, which often requires both pharmaceutical and psychological therapy to treat. We often work collaboratively with psychiatrists when treating psychotic disorders.

Mood disorders are mental health disorders that affect a person’s emotional state, including depression, bipolar disorder, etc. Treatment of depressive disorders typically involve psychological therapy, whereas bipolar disorder includes both psychiatric and psychological care.

Our psychologists often work collaboratively with psychiatrists when their services are required for the individual.

Personality disorders are often treated in a team setting. Our psychologists have specialist knowledge in treating personality disorders and often work together to manage the client’s symptoms and facilitate long-lasting behavioural change. Personality disorders encompass a broad range of personality disorders, where there are lifelong patterns of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about themselves, others and their environment. It also affects their interpersonal functioning and impulse control.

Personality disorders are grouped into three distinct “clusters”.

• Cluster A often appear odd or eccentric (e.g., paranoid, schizoid, or schizotypal).

• Cluster B often appear dramatic, emotional or erratic (e.g., antisocial, borderline, histrionic, or narcissistic).

• Cluster C often appear anxious or fearful (e.g., avoidant, dependent or obsessive-compulsive).

This is an umbrella term for a number of anxiety-related disorders, such as phobias, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, generalised anxiety disorder, etc. Avoidance and safety behaviours often underpin and perpetuate these disorders, which are our exact therapeutic targets.

Anxiety disorders are one of the most treatable and well-researched mental health disorders with long-lasting effects.
