Professional Support and Training
Consultation
We offer consultation to organisations (including health, legal, social, education and emergency services) as well as independent professionals, voluntary sector workers or members of the public.
​
Our clinicians offer consultation, assessment and therapy to a number of organisations, to assist in the planning and provision of clinical services as well as providing solution-focused interventions to aid carers or clients who are at risk and may potentially require clinical services (such as risk of offending behaviours due to mental health concerns). We have had a variety of contracts with organisations supporting individuals with learning difficulties and young people in residential care.
​
Psychological Services for the NHS and other Health Providers
We can provide psychological services for health organisations. We are able to support services that want to commission external psychotherapy, need a particular therapeutic specialism, or are simply looking for extra capacity to meet patient demand relating to psychological or mental health difficulties. From initial referral and assessment, through to sustained long-term treatment, we can either act as a completely outsourced department, or handle limited overspill if patient demand outstrips capacity.
​
Supervision
Clinical supervision is available for generic or specific clinical needs, with recognition of the requirement for continuing professional development. Further, a variety of models of supervision can be offered and agreed as appropriate. Group or individual supervision is available and is particularly suited to/aimed at clinical psychologists or other health professionals working within clinical specialties. All our clinicians have undertaken recognised Supervisor training.
Teaching and Training
We offer training on a variety of subjects to settings and public bodies/authorities, where psychological and mental health factors are important, such as school and workplaces.
