All treatmentsHow we can help
Nine areas of care, each led by our psychiatrists and clinical psychologists.
De-Addiction
A specialised counselling and treatment programme for people struggling with alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, LSD, MDMA, magic mushrooms and prescription medicines — in a confidential, safe and supportive environment..
Psychiatric Disorder
Schizophrenia spectrum disorders affect how a person thinks, feels and behaves.
Mood Disorders
Mood disorders are significant disturbances in emotional regulation that affect personal, social and working life.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders involve excessive, persistent worry or fear that interferes with daily life.
Personality Disorders
Personality disorders are long-term patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that cause distress or difficulty in relationships and daily life.
Childhood Disorders
Early diagnosis and treatment make a profound difference.
Family Counselling
Mental illness affects the whole family, not just the individual.
Postpartum Disorders
Sensitive, confidential care for mothers facing mental health difficulties after childbirth, with the family involved in recovery..
Sexual Disorders
Assessment and treatment for sexual health concerns, handled with sensitivity and complete confidentiality..
Geriatric Psychiatry
Older adults face mental health challenges that are often mistaken for "just ageing": depression, anxiety, memory decline, sleep changes and confusion.
Dementia
Dementia is a gradual decline in memory, reasoning and daily functioning, and it affects the whole family.
Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia.
Delirium
Delirium is a sudden state of confusion, disorientation and altered alertness, often triggered by infection, surgery, medication, dehydration or alcohol withdrawal.
Sleep Problems
Persistent insomnia, disturbed sleep or excessive sleepiness can both cause and worsen mental health conditions.
Binge Eating Disorder
Binge eating disorder involves repeated episodes of eating large amounts of food while feeling a loss of control, often followed by guilt or shame.
Conversion Disorder
Some people experience real physical symptoms with no neurological cause found on tests — such as weakness, paralysis, seizures or loss of speech.
Dissociative Fugue
Dissociative fugue is a rare condition where a person suddenly loses memory of their identity or past, sometimes travelling away from home, usually after severe stress or trauma..
Catatonia
Catatonia is a state in which a person may become unresponsive, rigid, mute or unusually still, or sometimes excessively agitated.
Chronic Pain
Long-term pain affects mood, sleep, work and relationships.
Adjustment Disorder
Major life changes can trigger emotional distress that feels out of proportion or lasts longer than expected.
Stress Disorders
Ongoing stress from work, family or finances can show up as irritability, exhaustion, poor sleep, headaches or difficulty concentrating.
Couples & Relationship Counselling
Conflict, poor communication, trust issues or emotional distance can strain even strong relationships.
Self-Esteem & Low Confidence
Persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism or feeling "not good enough" can hold people back in work, relationships and daily life.
Work-Related Issues
Burnout, workplace conflict, performance pressure and job insecurity take a serious toll on mental health.
Lifestyle Issues
Mental health is closely tied to daily habits such as screen and internet overuse, poor sleep routines, inactivity and unhealthy coping habits.Your path to recovery
