Accessing support for your mental health can be somewhat daunting. It takes a lot of courage to access support, especially at a time a person is feeling more emotionally vulnerable.
That’s why at Cheshire Psychological Well-Being Service, we ensure that individuals that access the service have a comprehensive initial assessment. We believe that it is important that your needs are fully understood and that you fully understand the process of therapy and what to expect.
An assessment with a Clinical Psychologist enables consideration of a wide range of treatment options. At Cheshire Psychological Well-Being Service, we believe in the importance of working transparently with our clients and building comprehensive formulations (psychological understanding of difficulties) that enable clients to make informed choices about their treatment pathway.
Clients accessing our service may wish to continue with therapy following an assessment, or they may wish to access the recommended therapy somewhere else. They may also decide that the therapeutic process is something they aren’t ready for or doesn’t quite fit for them.
Irrespective of their decision, we believe in keeping clients informed and enabling to be in control of their decision making.
