Bridges Therapy Centre is a London-based practice that offers psychological assessment and treatment to people of all ages a vast range of issues, from mental and physical ailments to life transitions and more.
1 in 4 people in the UK suffer from a mental health issue. This statistic can often seem surprising as not only is mental illness invisible, but it is also transient and intangible compared with a physical ailment. To help somebody with a mental health problem, a safe space in which to talk through your issues and receive informed guidance is needed, and these are the crucial components Bridges Therapy Centre provides.
Trauma is created in the brain when a distressing event occurs to an individual and is generally defined in three categories: acute, chronic, and complex. Rather than being defined objectively, trauma occurs upon your perception of an experience as being traumatic. Often people think trauma is born from a specific event (and sometimes it is) but prolonged experiences of feeling unsafe in an abusive situation can also cause trauma responses to develop in the brain.
It can be difficult to pinpoint exactly why you feel the way you do and that is why a professional diagnosis and treatment is preferable for those experiencing mental distress. Not everybody who experiences a traumatic event will develop a traumatic response, or the same difficulties as another person, so getting the right help for you is necessary.
Similarly, trauma is stored subconsciously, meaning that you might not be aware that the way you feel is due to past trauma – this is particularly the case for those who experienced childhood neglect, as the distressing event is covert, and the sufferer is likely to have repressed the impact as a means of survival.
Trauma is often the root cause of commonly experienced mental health problems such as anxiety and depression, so talk therapy is an effective way to unpack the issues you may be experiencing under the guidance of a trained professional.
Bridges Therapy Centre ensures you receive the right therapy to help you achieve your goals by providing an individualised psychological assessment and corresponding treatment to each person they treat. It may be the case that you receive one form of therapy, but a detailed map of how to help you the most efficiently will be made that can involve other talk therapies. Bridges Therapy Centre has a Hendon and Canary Wharf clinic, each with a team of qualified therapists ready to help you overcome any difficulties you may be facing.
