As therapists we can help you work through your struggles, issues, problems. Through psychotherapy, our therapists help people of all ages live happier, health-ier, and more self-empowering productive lives.

In our line psychotherapy, our therapists apply scientifically validated and clinically proven procedures, skills to help people develop healthier, more effective thoughts, emotions and behaviours. There are several approaches to psychotherapy including cognitive-behavioural based, approaches, dialectical behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution focused therapy, compassion focused therapy and other kinds of talk ther-apy that help individuals work through their struggles.

CLARITY, Psychotherapy is delivered to our clients as individual therapies or as a collaborative treatment of different combined therapies or approaches, based on your struggles or problems.

Grounded in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows you to talk in a safe space openly with a professional therapist who’s objective, neutral, and nonjudgmental. You and your therapist will work together to identify and change the thought, emotions and behaviour patterns that are keeping you from feeling or achieving your best.

How we do this;

Why is formulation better than diagnosis?
For instance, if you feel labelled or stigmatised by a previous diagnosis (or aren't even sure if that diagnosis is accurate), then a formulation of what's feeling difficult can be a more holistic, less medicalised way of understanding any issues.

The Perspectives approach to the understanding and treatment of patients with psychiatric conditions offers an alternative to the DSM. The Perspectives approach requires a systematic consideration of the patient's psychiatric condition from 4 perspectives: disease, dimensional, behaviour, and life story.

Why won't my therapist diagnose me?
In some situations, therapists won't provide a diagnosis because they don't think it's essential to the recovery process. Many professionals believe that labels can cause clients to concentrate on the wrong aspects of their mental health condition.

Do therapists diagnose you?
Yes, just like psychiatrists, therapists are trained to diagnose mental health disorders. A therapist will use talk therapy to determine a mental health problem and conduct psychological tests to make a diagnosis. A therapist can also develop a treatment plan for you based on your diagnosis. This treatment plan will usually include a form of therapy such as CBT but may also include medication for which you'll be referred to a medical doctor or psychiatrist.

After CLARITY, we will not only have supported and guided you to solve the problems you brought with you, but you will have learned new skills so you can better cope with whatever challenges arise in the future.
