      Hi!

      Emma here. Yes we do – we treat those who are often the most mentally unwell and are in a psychiatric hospital. We see people that might have schizophrenia, depression and feeling suicidal, bipolar disorder or psychosis that we don’t know the cause for.

      Most mentally unwell people don’t need hospital and can be looked after in the community by their GP or community mental health teams.

      Arts Therapies Team: We work with people who have quite complex mental health diagnoses, often having suffered trauma in their lives. The arts therapies offers a non-verbal way of connecting with people who may have difficulties in trusting others and who may not want to, or be able to, talk about experiences but can be listened and acknowledged through the arts medium ( art, drama, music)

      Steven here, all our clients have a mental health issue or are going through a mental health crisis. We work with depression, psychosis, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, PTSD and many more. We hope to make a real positive impact on mental health outcomes.

      Hi, yes we work with people with mental health problems, ranging from depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal, dementia to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In addition I also work with those with brain injuries, autism and deafness. Many people are managed by the GPs so in hospital we see a more severe end of the spectrum.
