Clinical Outcomes
We always strive to improve the experience of our clients and the care that we provide. To help us achieve this, we regularly collect clinical outcome data from our clients to assess their experiences and the impact of their therapeutic journey with us. Clinical outcomes allow us to measure changes in health, function and quality of life from our care. Constant review of our client focussed clinical outcomes helps establish a standard against which we continuously evaluate and improve our clinical care.

Improving Psychological Problems

We work with clients for a wide range of psychological problems. Many individuals who seek treatment with us are suffering from the effects of depression, anxiety and stress. Our outcome data show that 94% of our clients report significant improvements in depression, anxiety and stress following 3 months of therapy with us.
