Treatment Reviews
At the time of the diagnostic appointment, a thorough and compassionate assessment discussion would have helped determine the most appropriate next steps for your care.
​
Clients who have completed their initial diagnostic review will be offered treatment review sessions within this service if appropriate and a shared care agreement is in place.
A shared care agreement will be arranged with the client's GP by mutual agreement.

​
Supportive Listening
This is a recovery focused service promoting self efficacy and autonomy. There is a recognition of the need for self-individuation and a greater understanding of individual experience.
​
Clients who wish to have a safe confidential space in which to discuss their thoughts and feelings to achieve clarity and solutions around their dilemmas are welcome to book a session.
These sessions are available to clients as well as their carers.
​
A client diagnostic assessment is preferable, however not a pre-requisite, and will be recommended if a need is identified.
