DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

At The Fitzrovia Psychology Clinic, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) can be accessed as an individual, family-based, or consultation service, depending on your needs and those involved in your support. The number of sessions will be agreed following the initial assessment and reviewed regularly throughout the intervention process. We aim to establish successful partnerships between you, your family, carer, services, and clinicians, which we believe are central to achieving meaningful and lasting outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)?

Positive Behaviour Support is an evidence-based, person-centred approach that aims to understand the reasons behind behaviours and develop strategies that improve quality of life and reduce distress.

Who can benefit from PBS?

PBS is commonly used with individuals who present with challenging behaviours in the context of learning difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and neurodegenerative conditions such as advanced-stage dementia. It can also be used within family systems and educational settings.

What do you mean by challenging behaviours?

Challenging behaviours are behaviours that may place the individual or others at risk, or significantly impact quality of life. PBS understands these behaviours as meaningful forms of communication that often reflect unmet needs.

Who is involved in a Positive Behaviour Support service?

PBS takes a multi-system approach. Depending on the individual’s circumstances, involvement may include family members, carers, schools, support workers, healthcare professionals, and other services involved in the person’s life.

How long does Positive Behaviour Support in London take?

The number of sessions required will depend on individual circumstances, the complexity of the behaviour, and the systems involved. This will be discussed following the initial assessment and reviewed regularly throughout treatment.

What is the goal of PBS?

The goal of PBS is not simply to reduce challenging behaviours, but to improve quality of life, reduce distress, increase understanding, and help individuals access the support they need to thrive.

  • Jonathan is fantastic. I found our sessions to be a very calm environment that really helped me to reset each week. Jonathan really builds a great rapport, and is very practical and realistic during the process. I could not recommend him more!

    Former Client

  • I am extremely grateful for the care Allison showed me during our sessions. She always adapted sessions to match my needs and demonstrated a real understanding of the difficulties I was facing. Her openness and kindness meant that trust was developed very quickly, and I would have no hesitation in seeing her again should I ever need to.

    Former Client

  • The early stages showed me that Emily truly cares about helping other people. I was hesitant to start sessions, but Emily remained consistent with reaching out and always remained patient and understanding. The depth and structure of the sessions was incredible, I’ve never worked with a therapist who has left me feeling like I understand and appreciate to I am to such a level.
