Crisis Intervention Services
Expert Support During Difficult Times with Crisis Intervention
Crisis situations can happen unexpectedly, leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed, distressed, or unable to cope.
At Sigma Therapies, we offer professional crisis intervention services to provide expert support, helping you manage the emotional and psychological impact of crises.
Our experienced therapists offer compassionate, short-term interventions designed to stabilise the situation, provide emotional support, and develop a plan for moving forward.
What is Crisis Intervention?
Crisis intervention is a short-term, focused form of therapy designed to help individuals who are experiencing a psychological or emotional crisis. Whether the crisis is related to a traumatic event, sudden loss, relationship breakdown, mental health emergency, or other overwhelming situations, crisis intervention helps individuals regain emotional stability and develop coping strategies.
The goal of crisis intervention is to address the emotional needs of the person in crisis, provide support, and guide them towards practical steps for recovery. It focuses on helping individuals navigate the crisis, minimise emotional harm, and create a plan for managing the aftermath.
When is Crisis Intervention Needed?
Crisis intervention can be helpful in a variety of emergency situations, including:
» Sudden loss of a loved one
» Relationship breakdown or separation
» Traumatic events (e.g., accidents, assaults, natural disasters)
» Mental health crises, including suicidal thoughts or severe anxiety
» Emotional distress following a significant life change
» Domestic violence or abuse situations
» Workplace crises or conflicts
» Panic attacks or overwhelming emotional episodes
If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these situations, crisis intervention can provide the right support and guidance.
