How do we identify what needs addressing?
Through assessment and collaborative psychological formulation
We aim to collaboratively develop a formulation, which put simply, is a process that allows us, in consultation with you, to make sense of your concerns and struggles. This is to better inform quality evidence-based interventions tailored to your needs and circumstances. By learning about you, key experiences in your life and taking all factors internal to you, and in your world, into account, difficulties and strengths are revealed, which allows us to come up with strategies to begin working towards change, and your goals.
We use a number of tools in developing a formulation; including assessing where relevant, personality, neurodiversity, mental health, and criminogenic factors.
