Are you one of the 1 in 3 Scots with mental health difficulties?
The Mental Health Care Collective offers accessible support and specialist treatment to people affected by mental health difficulties.
Your individual needs will not be the same as the next person, so why should your treatment?
Assessment just means talking to you about your difficulties and your life story. This can be 2-4 sessions, to give you the time you need to share whatever you need to and decide if your therapist is a good fit for you. Your therapist will share an initial understanding of your problems and a plan for working together on change.
Therapy involves 60 minute appointments, usually once a week. We’ll work with you in a respectful non-judgemental and compassionate way, to establish a therapy relationship that feels trusting, secure and professional.
People may not identify themselves as ‘carers’ and those experiencing mental health problems are not always comfortable seeing partners, relatives or friends as their ‘carers’. However, mental health difficulties usually have a big impact on those close to the person affected.
We can provide support to carers with the aims of increasing understanding, building skills to support your loved one and supporting care for yourself.
At times it’s also helpful to have a partner or family member join some sessions with their loved one who is having therapy.
You may need a different care option to what we can offer. If so, we’ll try to direct you to another service for help.
Getting to know youAssessment just means talking to you about your difficulties and your life story, before making a plan with you about what care options would be helpful. You can share as much or as little information by email beforehand as you wish.
Psychological TherapyPsychological Therapy is the main care option. This involves 60 minute appointments, usually once a week.
I’ll engage with you in a respectful non-judgemental and compassionate way, to establish a relationship that feels trusting, secure and professional.
Support workSupport work involves the same focus on respectful non-judgemental compassionate care and establishing a trusting professional care relationship. It may be face-to-face in the consulting room, at the patient’s home or out & about. Support can be delivered through emails, telephone or by video-conference. Support work may play a role in your pathway at the beginning, middle or the end of your care.
Helping support those you lovePeople may not identify themselves as ‘carers’ and those experiencing mental health problems are not always comfortable seeing partners, relatives or friends as their ‘carers’. However, mental health difficulties usually have a big impact on those close to the person affected, so support can sometimes be needed for ‘carers’ with the aims of increasing understanding, building skills to support your loved one and supporting care for yourself.
Everyone is differentYou may need a different care option to what we routinely offer. We will try to direct you to a different or additional treatment option, if we can’t provide this ourselves.
