PRINCIPLES OF PRACTICE
Values / Approaches
Recovery oriented approach
The principles of a recovery oriented approach include understanding that each person is different and should be supported to make their own choices, listened to, and treated with dignity and respect.
Each person is the expert of their own life, and support should assist them to achieve their hopes, goals and aspirations. Recovery will mean different things to different people.
Holistic approach
A holistic approach means providing support that looks at the whole person, not just their mental health needs. The support we provide considers their physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.
We recognise that emotional stress often manifests as physical issues such as fatigue or tension. Therapy often includes somatic exercises, yoga or breathwork to manage the nervous system, alongside talk therapies.
Person-centred approach
A person-led approach is where the person is supported to lead their own treatment and is treated as a person first. We focus on the person and what they can do, not their diagnostic label or disability, and tailor support to their aspirations, needs and unique circumstances.
It promotes independence, control and dignity by building compassionate, respectful and equal partnerships between individuals, their families and the therapist.
Trauma informed care
Trauma-informed care is based on the understanding that a significant number of people living with mental health conditions have experienced trauma in their lives, that trauma may be a factor for people in distress, that its impact may be lifelong, and that it can affect a person, their emotions and their relationships with others.
It emphasises safety, trust, empowerment and choice to avoid re-traumatisation, ensuring our service supports healing rather than causing further distress.
