Treatment The Trauma Clinic provides the services of a psychiatrist and two psychologists in private practice. Your first meeting will usually take an hour or more and will allow a detailed assessment of your problems. The recommended treatment options will be discussed with you and you will be involved in the formulation of a treatment plan. Usually this will be followed either by routine brief follow-up appointments (typically lasting 20-25 minutes each) or longer therapy sessions (typically lasting about 50-60 minutes each). We work as a multi-professional team (psychiatry and psychology) to offer the best treatment in any individual case, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), EMDR, narrative and other psychological therapies. If necessary, we can arrange for a professional interpreter to be present. We can also make arrangements to meet the needs of people with disabilities - please let us know before your first appointment. Further information on common treatments and clinical problems is available from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Department of Health web-sites. This is a sample of published information sheets for patients. We hope that this information will help users of our services better understand their problems and some of the options available for treatment. However, these should not be used as an alternative to detailed assessment.
