What’s Involved in Mental Health Support?
Our Mental Health Support services are personalised to meet each individual’s unique needs and goals. The process typically involves:
Initial Consultation and Assessment:
We begin with an assessment to understand your current mental health challenges, goals, and how these are affecting your daily life. This may include discussions about your emotional well-being, lifestyle, and specific stressors.
Goal Setting:
Together with you, we set realistic and meaningful goals for your mental health journey. Whether it's improving emotional regulation, reducing stress, or enhancing social skills, we ensure that the goals are aligned with your personal aspirations.
Personalised Intervention Plan:
Based on the assessment, we create a tailored intervention plan that may include strategies such as cognitive-behavioural techniques, mindfulness, relaxation exercises, and activity planning.
One-on-One Therapy Sessions:
Our Occupational Therapists provide regular therapy sessions where you’ll learn and practise new coping skills, explore emotional challenges, and work towards improving your mental health and well-being.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support:
We continuously monitor your progress, adjusting your intervention plan as needed to ensure that you continue to make positive strides towards better mental health.
