Psychological Treatment For Schizophrenia

Evidence-Based Therapies: Our treatments are grounded in the latest evidence-based therapeutic techniques endorsed by the APS, including:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp): Specifically designed for schizophrenia, CBTp helps you manage symptoms, improve functioning, and reduce the distress associated with psychotic experiences.

• Family Therapy: Involves working with families to improve communication and provide support, helping to reduce relapse rates and improve overall outcomes.

• Social Skills Training: Focuses on enhancing social interactions and daily functioning, which is crucial for improving quality of life.

• Personalised Treatment Plans: We believe in a personalised approach to therapy. Our psychologists work closely with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific symptoms and goals, following the APS's recommended guidelines for schizophrenia treatment. 

• Initial Assessment: Your journey with us begins with a comprehensive initial assessment to understand your specific symptoms and overall mental health. This assessment follows APS's best practice guidelines, ensuring accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
