| Individual
and Group Therapies
During
their stay at the Clinic patients will undertake individual
and/or group therapy sessions. Sometimes community based
treatment programmes will be established with brief in-patient
or day patient care as an alternative to admission. Many
patients undertake therapy on an outpatient basis or attend
our therapy centre for group and individual work. The range
of therapies on offer is expansive and our team of specialists
will liaise closely with the patient's G.P. and other professionals
who may be involved.
Psychiatric
and Psychological Disorders
The
Eastbourne Clinic offers a very comprehensive range of services
and treatment is available for many different conditions.
These include schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, obsessive
/ compulsive disorder, phobias, problems relating to drug
and alcohol addiction to emerging dependencies on computer
and Internet and problems associated with modern lifestyles.
Our
team has expertise in treating eating disorders such as
anorexia nervosa and bulimia, food addiction and compulsive
eating. We provide individuals and organisations with help
for work related stress. We also offer marital and relationship
counselling as well as child and family therapy.
Other
areas we specialise in include post traumatic stress disorder
and the treatment of adult survivors of childhood abuse.
We are one of the few Clinics in the country that specialise
in the treatment of psychosomatic conditions and health
problems where there is a body / mind overlay such as Chronic
Fatigue, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), Muscular
Sclerosis (M.S.) and chronic recurring physical health difficulties.
Therapy
Centre
Within
our self-contained therapy centre we have our own specialist
team of skilled therapists who work either individually,
or in groups with in-patients. The range of activities available
is wide and may embrace creative and art based activities,
particularly suitable for those who may be functionally
impaired because of mental health difficulties, or cognitive
and educational groups for those who would do better in
this setting.
Likewise
the team also facilitate social and recreational groups
and outings, which ensures a rich mix of activities for
all. Our therapists undertake comprehensive assessments,
in order to identify patient needs and plan treatment programmes
and suitability for group / individual work.
The
therapy centre is available for both in-patients and those
who may wish to come in from home, for a morning, afternoon
or whole day, to take advantage of the wide range of therapeutic
activities on offer. We cater for problem areas such as
low self-esteem, poor confidence, managing anxiety and other
related life difficulties.
Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy, as well as more traditional Counselling
and Psychotherapy, is also available to the public, as well
as our in-patients. We are also, currently, developing in-house
Family Therapy Services.
