Mental health
Psychological support for real life
Therapy and consultation shaped around what is happening, what matters to you and the wider life in which the difficulty sits.
The starting point
Mental health rarely exists in isolation. Sleep, relationships, health, movement, work and identity can all affect how someone feels and copes. EHG starts with the person rather than reducing them to a label.
Ways that EHG may help
Current psychological work includes integrative therapy, consultation and performance-focussed support. The first conversation is used to understand the enquiry and whether an EHG service is suitable.
- Psychological therapy for adults and young people aged 16+
- Support for anxiety, mood, grief, trauma-related difficulties and OCD
- Relationships, communication and behaviour change
- Consultation for athletes, professionals, teams and organisations
An integrative approach
Work may draw on counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, DBT-informed skills, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking. The approach is selected thoughtfully; it is never a collection of techniques applied without context.
Assessment, diagnosis and formulation
EHG can complete appropriate pre-screening tools and assessments to contribute useful information towards a possible diagnosis. People who require formal diagnosis are referred along the appropriate route to a suitably regulated clinician. Where diagnosis is outside the purpose of the work, EHG can develop a psychological formulation to understand the person’s experiences, patterns and needs.
Scope and referrals
EHG currently does not have the facilities for emergency care. Diagnosis, medication and specialist assessments require appropriately regulated clinicians, that we can refer individuals to. When another professional or service is better placed, EHG will explain the next step or signpost you clearly.
Common questions
Useful details
Do I need a diagnosis to ask for support?
You can begin with what you have noticed and how it is affecting life. A diagnosis is one possible part of understanding an experience.
How can EHG help when diagnosis is being considered?
EHG can complete appropriate pre-screening tools and assessments to support a diagnostic pathway, then refer to a suitably regulated clinician for formal diagnosis. EHG may complete a psychological formulation where diagnosis is outside the purpose of the work.
