Our Services
Mental Health:
Physical Health
At Life Balance Therapy, we understand how your mental wellbeing can make you feel unable to do things in your daily life you'd like. The first step is the hardest, and that is reaching out for professional support. Person-centred therapy for loss, change, depression and sadness, or worry, stress and anxiety, or other mental health symptoms can be distressing, or you might feel nothing. But vey gently and moving at your pace, and with talking we can see things in other ways together. If you like we can develop new coping strategies, and or start to take action. Slowly and surely you can regain control of your life, rebuild your confidence, and live life well. Person-centred therapy complements other treatments you are doing, for example if your GP has given you antidepressants, or other medications, we can support that, and help develop coping skills that rebuild you. Maybe you are getting the support from your friends and family? We can add to that help with professional therapy that will help you make changes and feel more settled and able to move forward. You will get stronger, feel more confidence, and f. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and techniques, Compassionate Focused therapy and techniques, motivational interviewing and counselling to help you find out the barriers to your mental wellbeing, and move past them. Ask for an online or face to face assessment to progress.
At Life Balance Therapy, we understand that physical health issues cause symptoms that can impact your ability to perform everyday activities. We can help by providing ways to manage the tasks during a new diagnosis or long term condition, or when you are recovering from an illness or disease, or after a temporary set back. We help you manage the symptoms that limit what you do, like physical manifestations of your mental health, musculoskeletal conditions, pain, or fatigue and support you to live the life you want to live. Sometimes circumstances and health conditions are very complex and then we maximise independence as far as possible, and with compassion and respect, help you explore options for ways around the difficulties. We are strength based and we focus what matters to you. Ask for online or face to face assessment to progress in your rehabilitation journey.
Professionals: Multidisciplinary Teamworking
The work that we do complements rather than conflicts with the work of other professionals. Life Balance Therapy can supplement established approaches to health and wellbeing with additional biopsychosocial assessment of functioning and/or rehabilitative therapy. For example, if you need an assessment of how someone functions in an everyday task, or if you recognise someone's needs are complex or have changed, and you are not sure how to meet them, we can help with that. In the NHS we work effortlessly on shared goals in multidisciplinary teams of doctors, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, and/or dieticians, who are our allied health professional colleagues. In the community our work complements that of the social worker; homecare, domiciliary, and nursing care agencies; voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations offering social prescriptions, and and independent practitioners. Not every organisation wants a full time OT, but everyone needs one sometimes. At Life Balance Therapy we work on a casework/project/ad-hoc basis - Send us a contact if you'd like to discuss, or book our Assessment of functioning with report.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
