The number of sessions varies from person to person and depends on your needs, goals, and the type of service you are accessing. For some, a few focused sessions may be enough, while others benefit from longer-term support.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose common mental health disorders and prescribe medication, with a holistic mind-body approach to mental health treatment.

Our psychologists have psychology degrees and are trained to provide specialist assessments and evidence-based post-diagnostic support. There can be some overlap in approaches; for example, both psychologists and psychiatrists can be trained in psychodynamic talking therapy.

Psychologists registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) are highly trained mental healthcare professionals. Unlike counsellors, who focus mainly on talking therapy and supportive listening, HCPC-registered psychologists complete doctoral-level training and are legally regulated to provide specialist assessments, diagnoses, and evidence-based treatments.

This means they can work with complex difficulties across the lifespan, offering a deeper level of expertise and accountability to ensure the highest standards of care.
