Cognitive Solutions Clinic Ltd.

The Cognitive Solutions Clinic aims to work with individual adults who may experience a range of mental health difficulties such as an anxiety disorder, depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), eating disorder, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. An approach based on relatively short-term cognitive behaviour therapy is used to help people recognise how their thinking processes (cognitions) impact mood and behaviour. Learning how to change negative patterns of thinking and behaviour in a structured manner can help many to lead more fulfilled lives. Referral for therapy to this clinic is only accepted through a GP or mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist.
