Nicola is 32 yrs old. She is a Brand Manager for a large financial institution. She lives with her boyfriend and her flatmate who is her best friend from University.

Nicola started to notice about two months ago that her stress levels were getting higher and higher. She was starting to feel overwhelmed at work. She naturally had spoken to her manager but he had informed her that due to business targets he was unable to reduce any of her workload.

• High levels of Anxiety
• Heart Palpitations
• Low Mood
• Poor Concentration
• Insomnia
• Feelings of Failure
• Irritability and Frustration
• Impaired Memory

After a complete assessment of Nicola’s difficulties it was mutually agreed that the main issue was her high levels of Anxiety and although her symptoms didn’t fit a full diagnosis of Panic disorder, we still believed using the CBT Therapy Model for Panic to guide treatment would be the most appropriate.

The CBT Therapy Model for Panic Attacks (see below) primarily focusses on the “catastrophic mis – interpretations” that are activated when someone experiences the unpleasant physical and mental symptoms that occur during an episode of extreme anxiety. Read more…

The standard Psychological Measure we use at the clinic is the PHQ9 and GAD7.

As you can see from the graph above Nicola’s scores on the PHQ9 went from 15 (which in Nicola’s case indicated moderate depression) to 4 (complete recovery) in under 12 sessions.

*The results we post on a monthly basis and how we measure recovery is through this clinically validated tool.

Nicola made a full recovery from her Panic Attacks.

Ensuring our clients get the results they require is a major focus of our work at the clinic.

CBT Therapy is a Talking Treatment that places a large emphasis on the measurability of results. That is why every session you will be asked to fill out a psychometric questionnaire so we can monitor and record your progress.
