Psychological Health
Boosting resilience in those making a difference
Our Psychological Health Service focuses on boosting resilience in mission partners and relief and development workers, and on supporting the psychological wellbeing of UK charity workers and those in Christian Ministry.
Humanitarian staff wellness and missionary well-being are central to the capacity of humanitarian and faith based agencies to work to their full potential. We specialise in supporting relief and development workers and mission partners with stress and trauma management & living with the need for security protocols. We also support staff with depression and other psychological conditions impeding their functioning and personal well being.
It is normal for people working in international relief and development and in faith based service to face issues and circumstances which have a psychological, emotional and spiritual impact on them. Many physical symptoms are manifestations of stress, anxiety and fatigue. Our holistic approach enables us to explore issues with individuals and provide appropriate care and support as early as possible. Our practice means we can refer between our various specialists with a minimum of delay. Our emphasis is always on empowering and facilitating people to understand themselves and where there are difficulties, to promote their recovery to full psychological health.
We also provide comprehensive Psychological Health services to many UK based not-for profit and faith-based organisations including work-life balance and stress management services, trauma management and consultations, advice, referrals and when appropriate counselling or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Our PHS team is made up of;
- Psychotherapist
- Consultant Psychiatrist
- Psychologist
- Counselor
- CBT specialist (cognitive behavioral therapy)
- Clinical Psychologist
Our Consultant Psychiatrist is available for psychiatric advice and consultation for selected services only.
All members of the team are specialists in working with agencies and personnel in international relief and development and faith based service. Between them they have significant field experience. We are familiar with the common readjustment issues faced by volunteers and staff returning home after international assignment.
