As well as reducing your overall wellbeing, mental health difficulties can have a negative impact on all areas of your life including your relationships with loved ones, your interest in social activities, as well as your performance at work.

We recognise that all of our patients have unique mental health presentations, which is why we are dedicated to ensuring that treatment is personalised according to your needs. This allows us to deliver the best treatment for you and produce the most positive outcomes.

At Priory Wellbeing Centre Birmingham, we don’t take a ‘one size fits all’ approach, and instead, are committed to placing you at the heart of treatment. We provide tailored and established treatment for a variety of mental health conditions including:

• Depression

We are also able to offer young people’s services at Birmingham, for individuals under the age of 18 who require support for their mental health challenges.

At Priory Wellbeing Centre Birmingham, we are committed to employing a truly holistic approach to supporting each individual’s recovery.

Mental health in the workplace is becoming an increasing concern in today’s society, especially within the context of modern city living. Occupational pressures and working in highly challenging environments can cause individuals to feel stressed and may lead to the development of long-term mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. If you work in a highly pressurised environment, our expert team at Birmingham are able to help you to improve your mental resilience, enabling you to thrive within the workplace and achieve a healthy work-life balance.

As well as having a detrimental impact on the individual, mental health challenges at work cost UK employers approximately £30 billion per year in employee absence, lost production and replacing staff. As such, we also offer training to businesses to help to improve and develop workforce performance, and we welcome enquiries from employers looking to promote a culture of positive mental health within their organisation. We can help to support your employees to manage the challenges of working in a demanding, fast-paced setting, via a treatment programme that is tailored to your requirements.

Treatment and therapy for any condition at Birmingham consists of individual or group-based interventions that patients are able to attend on a session by session basis. We are able to offer a range of therapies, which are specifically selected and tailored according to your unique needs, and delivered by highly skilled consultants and therapists. These include:

• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
• Psychodynamic counselling
• Systemic therapy
• Solution-focused approaches
• Eye movement desensitisation and re-processing (EMDR) therapy

Choosing to self-fund

There are many reasons why people choose to pay to receive specialist outpatient treatment at Priory Wellbeing Centre Birmingham. It may be because local NHS providers have long waiting times and insufficient capacity, or do not offer the specific mental health/addiction treatment that you need. Alternatively, you may simply prefer the peace of mind of receiving expert care alongside rapid access to established treatment, from the UK’s leading independent provider of mental healthcare and addiction services.

At Birmingham, we are able to book flexible outpatient appointments at a time that is convenient for you, wherever possible, with the guarantee that we can deliver outstanding mental health support, with the most positive outcomes. For more information on how to commence with expert treatment, contact us today via email or by calling: 0330 056 6020.

Using your private medical insurance for mental health and addiction treatment

The Priory is a registered and approved provider for all of the UK’s leading private medical insurers, including Bupa, Vitality, Aviva, Cigna, WPA and AXA PPP.

If you have access to private medical insurance, either personally or through your workplace, your policy may require you to obtain a GP referral before undergoing treatment with Priory, so please check this with your provider. We will need you to provide your insurance policy details at the time of booking your initial consultation, so that pre-authorisation may be agreed with the insurance provider. In addition, different policies cover different levels of care, so for any queries, it is advisable to contact your insurer. Alternatively, you can contact our dedicated Birmingham admissions team on: 0330 056 6020, who will be delighted to assist you with any questions that you may have.
