Expert mental health treatment at Priory Wellbeing Centre Birmingham

We are able to provide established outpatient treatment for a wide variety of mental health conditions including:

Depression treatment in Birmingham

Depression is a severe and debilitating mental health condition, which causes individuals to experience overwhelming feelings of sadness and despair. It is important to recognise that it is normal for us all to feel sad and ‘down’ from time to time, but if you find that you are experiencing crushing low moods that are affecting your ability to function, it may be that you are struggling with depression.

Depression symptoms can be difficult to cope with and include persistent feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, which can often prevent people from reaching out and seeking the support that they need. However, it’s important to understand that depression is treatable, and the most crucial first step towards overcoming your depression and regaining control of your life is to seek professional help. Our depression specialists in Birmingham are committed to delivering high quality and evidence-based outpatient treatment for your depression, enabling you to tackle your symptoms, and take steps towards the healthy, happy and fulfilling life that you deserve.

Anxiety treatment in Birmingham

Anxiety is a broad term that encompasses a range of different disorders, all of which can have a profoundly negative impact on an individual’s quality of life, and their ability to function. Although it is common for everyone to feel anxious and worried on occasions, experiencing these emotions over a prolonged period of time and in a heightened manner, may indicate that you are struggling with a debilitating anxiety disorder.

Anxiety comes in many different forms and is characterised by individuals experiencing overwhelming feelings of worry and dread that seem to be disproportionate to the situation. These anxiety symptoms can often make even the simplest of tasks seem impossible, and may act as a barrier to people seeking the professional support that they need. However, it’s important to recognise that you’re not alone, and you don’t have to struggle with anxiety; this condition is treatable, and it is possible for you to make a full and sustainable recovery. Our anxiety treatment experts in Birmingham are dedicated to providing each and every one of our patients with bespoke outpatient anxiety treatment, enabling you to reduce your symptoms, tackle the underlying triggers and causes for your anxiety, and take steps towards a more positive way of life.

Stress treatment in Birmingham

Stress is usually experienced in response to severe emotional or mental pressure, and unfortunately, is becoming an increasingly common problem in the context of modern working life. Whilst we can all feel stressed from time to time, if you find that your stress is becoming difficult to cope with or is causing you to experience physical symptoms and emotional exhaustion, it may be that you require expert therapy to help you to overcome it.

Chronic stress is unlikely to improve on its own, and can become progressively worse over time, ultimately having a hugely detrimental impact on both your personal and professional life. Outpatient stress treatment in Birmingham has been designed to enable you to overcome your stress symptoms, learn new and healthier ways to cope with stress in the future, and take steps towards recovery and wellbeing.

Mental health in the workplace is becoming an increasingly prevalent issue in today’s society, especially in the context of modern city life. Working in highly competitive and pressurised environments can cause individuals to develop what is known as ‘executive stress’, which in turn, may lead to further mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. If you work in a challenging occupational environment and find that you are struggling to manage your stress levels and work-life balance, our specialist team at Birmingham can help you to improve your mental resilience, enabling you to thrive within the workplace and manage occupational pressures in a healthy way.

As well as having a negative impact on the individual, mental health problems in the workplace cost UK employers approximately £30 billion per year in lost production, employee absence and recruiting new staff. Therefore, we are also able to provide bespoke training to organisations to help to improve workforce performance and wellbeing, and we welcome enquiries from employers who wish to promote a culture of positive mental health within their business.
