Mental health difficulties can significantly impair your ability to function effectively on a daily basis, as well as having a destructive impact on your psychological, emotional and physical health. Without expert support, mental health challenges can lead to a whole host of devastating, long-term problems and continue to have a detrimental impact on all areas of your life.

We recognise that everybody reacts to life differently, and we experience mental health challenges in unique ways – it’s what makes us human. Therefore, we are committed to placing you at the heart of your treatment journey, ensuring that all treatment is personalised according to your unique requirements, as part of a bespoke package of care. This personalised approach allows us to deliver the most effective mental health treatment for you, resulting in positive individual outcomes and a sustainable recovery.

Mental health in the workplace is an important issue in today’s society, especially within the context of modern city living. Excessive demands at work can often make you feel as though your job is taking over your life, which can cause you to feel stressed and may even lead to the development of long-term mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.  If you work in a highly pressurised environment, our experts at Edinburgh can support you in managing your mental and emotional resilience, and help you to rebalance the relationship between work and your personal life.

In addition to the detrimental impact that mental health problems can have 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 welcome enquiries from businesses and employers looking to support their employees to manage the challenges of working in a demanding environment and promote a culture of positive mental health within their organisation. We do this as part of a comprehensive treatment programme, tailored to your specific needs and requirements.

Treatment and therapy for any condition consists of individual or group-based interventions that patients are able to attend on a session by session basis. We are also able to offer a range of therapies, including the widely-used technique, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which are specifically selected and tailored according to your unique requirements, and delivered by a highly qualified and experienced team.

Choosing to self-fund

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

At our Edinburgh clinic, we are able to book flexible outpatient appointments at a time that is convenient for you, 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 treatment

The Priory Group 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, or our dedicated Edinburgh admissions team on: 0330 056 6020 , who will be delighted to assist you with any questions that you may have.
