Evidence-based Psychotherapy
Psychologists study and train for years. One of the things psychologists in academia and research do is investigate the effectiveness of various types of treatments. This is important for us and our clients as it helps make our practice evidence-based. The methods we use have been trialled, tested and investigated many times over so we know that they work for various types of mental health presentations. By using heavily tested and effective approaches like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for instance, we are providing you with the best quality care. There is no guesswork and you can be assured that you are receiving the best quality treatment for the concern you are presenting with. Evidence-based psychotherapy is used for treatment of diagnosed mental health conditions inculding anxiety disorders, depression and mood disorders, sleep disorders, addictions and so on.
