PSYCHOSIS TREATMENT
AT THE FITZROVIA PSYCHOLOGY CLINIC

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

  • Initial Consultation: You will meet with an experienced clinician to discuss your experiences, concerns, and goals for treatment. We take time to understand what you have been experiencing and how this may be affecting different areas of your life.
  • Comprehensive Assessment: We explore your experiences, thoughts, emotions, behaviours, relationships, and circumstances to develop a clearer understanding of your individual needs. This helps us identify appropriate treatment options and any additional support that may be beneficial.
  • Understanding Your Experiences: Psychosis can affect people in different ways. Together, we explore experiences such as unusual beliefs, hearing voices, visual experiences, anxiety, paranoia, or difficulties with thinking and concentration in a safe and non-judgemental environment.
  • Personalised Treatment Plan: Treatment is tailored to your individual circumstances and goals. Depending on your needs, psychological therapy may be provided alongside other forms of treatment, including medication, with the aim of reducing distress and supporting recovery.
  • Ongoing Support: We provide ongoing psychological support throughout treatment, helping you develop strategies for managing distressing experiences and improving your confidence and everyday wellbeing. We offer both in-person appointments in London and online therapy where appropriate.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

Psychosis can occur in association with a number of mental health conditions, including Schizophrenia. An assessment can help to understand the nature of a person’s experiences and identify the most appropriate form of support.

Treatment for Psychosis may involve a combination of medication and psychological therapy, depending on how it manifests for the individual. At The Fitzrovia Psychology Clinic, we offer effective, evidence-based psychological treatments that can be tailored to individual needs. These may include CBT, Family Therapy and Narrative Therapy.

The type of sessions recommended will depend on the individual’s circumstances, needs, and treatment goals. This will be discussed following the initial assessment and reviewed throughout treatment.

What causes Psychosis?

Psychosis can occur in association with different mental health conditions, including Schizophrenia. A range of psychological, biological, and environmental factors may contribute to someone’s experiences. An assessment can help establish what support may be appropriate.

What psychological therapies are available for Psychosis?

At The Fitzrovia Psychology Clinic, psychological treatments for Psychosis may include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp), Family Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.

CBTp is a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy adapted for people experiencing Psychosis. It can help individuals explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and experiences and develop strategies for managing distress.

  • 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.
