Psychology Services
Without doubt, our mental and physical health are equally important components of our overall health.
AgeHappy – Well Mental Health
Here at The Female Health Clinic, we are constantly enhancing our service provision to meet the needs of our patients. Without doubt, our mental and physical health are equally important components of our overall health. With this in mind, we are pleased to now offer highly specialist psychological assessment and treatment.
Life can throw us many challenges. Whilst it can be very helpful to talk about difficulties with our loved ones, sometimes we can benefit from some additional support, a different perspective and expert advice and guidance.
Therapists can assist you in understanding both how your difficulties developed and factors that might be serving to maintain your problems, within a private and confidential space. They will be able to support you in learning skills and techniques to manage your emotions, relationships and life challenges and move towards the things you value in life.
You do not have to be diagnosed with a mental health problem to benefit from therapy. You can seek help for everyday difficulties that many of us face, to improve your mental health and quality of life.
Difficulties like job stress and burnout, relationship issues, complex life decisions, challenges associated with parenting and family life or a lack of self-confidence, self-compassion and self-esteem. Did you know that more and more people are presenting with anxiety since the Covid19 pandemic
Therapy is particularly effective when facing challenging and exceptional times, such as going through a divorce, experiencing a loss or going through stages in the life cycle (for example, perimenopause/menopause, when children leave home or beginning retirement).
We have a small team of therapists (Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, Psychotherapists and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapists) working with us here at The FeMale Health Clinic.
The team offers assessments and treatment, with an emphasis on taking an individualised, collaborative and evidence-based approach. If you are interested in exploring the possibility of therapy and would like to know more, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Can therapy help with menopausal symptoms?
Perimenopause and Menopause are times of great transition, and therapy can offer you a safe space to understand and manage some of the common symptoms, that affect our mood and mental health, such as anxiety and depression (including learning effective coping mechanisms).
Seeing a specialist offers a different perspective and coupled with expert advice and guidance, can be a toolkit to thrive moving forwards.
What are the benefits of therapy?
Therapy can assist you in understanding how your difficulties developed and factors that might be serving to maintain your problems, within the context of a private and confidential space. Your therapist will be able to support you in learning skills and techniques to manage your emotions, relationships and life challenges and move towards the things you value in life.
