Formulation & Therapy
Psychology
Psychological assessment, formulation, and evidence-based therapy delivered by clinical and counselling psychologists.
About Psychology
Psychology helps make sense of patterns in thoughts, emotions, relationships, behaviour, and coping strategies. At Cardinal Clinic, psychological work is grounded in careful formulation and adapted to the person in front of us.
Our psychologists work closely with psychiatrists, therapists, nursing staff, and families where appropriate, supporting joined-up care rather than isolated appointments.
Psychological support may include
Assessment and formulation
Understanding the difficulties, maintaining factors, strengths, and goals that shape treatment.
Evidence-based therapy
Structured psychological therapy matched to presentation, goals, and clinical need.
Family and systemic input
Where helpful, involving families or support networks to improve understanding and continuity.
How psychology fits into care
Understand the need
The team identifies the clinical questions and what kind of psychological input would be most useful.
Build a formulation
Your psychologist develops a shared understanding of the problem and the goals for treatment.
Review progress
Therapy is reviewed over time so the plan can adapt as needs, risks, and goals change.
