How Does it Work
“We’re used to thinking of a healthy lifestyle as being important to our physical health, but it’s just as important for our mental health”
Christelle Langley, University of Cambridge
To deliver optimal results, we have designed our programme to offer a seamless synergy between traditional therapy and counselling, and lifestyle and behavioural change.
To do this, each week of the programme includes
1.
Talking Therapy
We’ll match you with the right therapist and therapy style for you.
The right combination creates a safe space to confront complex thoughts and emotions and learn effective coping strategies.
2.
Action Plan
Your Health Coach will assign a range of interactive sessions. Including movement, ‘green therapy’ meditation, mindfulness classes, educational sessions, webinars, and group events.
3.
Interactive Sessions
A wide range of physical and psychological therapies delivered in both group and 1:1 sessions.
4.
Personalised Advice
Our integrated healthcare team will review your weekly progress and tailor your activities to best guide you towards better mental health.
Talking and Behavioural Therapies
Talking and behavioural therapies allow us to address past traumas, and learn new ways to approach difficult situations, feelings, and emotions.
Whether you have a diagnosed mental health condition or have noticed that your mood is unusually low for a while, our expert mental health team will assess your personal needs and ensure you receive the proper treatment.
