Expert mental health treatment at Priory Wellbeing Centre Fenchurch Street, London

We are able to provide tried and tested outpatient treatment for a broad range of mental health conditions including:

Depression treatment in London

Depression is a debilitating mental health condition, which causes individuals to experience overwhelming feelings of despair, sadness and hopelessness. Whilst it is relatively normal for us all to feel upset and sad on occasions, if you find that you are struggling with persistent crushing low moods that are affecting your ability to function in your daily life, it may be that you have depression.

The symptoms of depression can be extremely difficult to cope with and can often act as a barrier to people seeking the professional support that they need. However, it’s important to recognise that depression is treatable, and the most crucial first step towards overcoming your depression and regaining control of your life is to seek specialist help. Our depression experts in London are dedicated to delivering person-centred and evidence-based outpatient treatment for your depression, enabling you to reduce your symptoms, and take steps towards a full and sustainable recovery.

Anxiety treatment in London

Anxiety is a broad term that refers to a range of different disorders, all of which can have a hugely detrimental impact on an individual’s ability to function on a daily basis, as well as their health, wellbeing and quality of life. Although it is common for everyone to feel anxious and worried from time-to-time, if these emotions are heightened, or present for a prolonged period of time, it may be that you are suffering with an anxiety disorder.

Anxiety manifests in lots of different ways and is characterised by individuals experiencing overwhelming feelings of dread and worry that seem to be disproportionate to the situation. These anxiety symptoms can sometimes make even the smallest of tasks seem impossible, and as such, may prevent people seeking the expert intervention that they need. However, it’s crucial to recognise that you don’t have to suffer on your own, and it is possible for you to achieve a full and lasting recovery. Our anxiety treatment experts in London are dedicated to providing our patients with individually tailored anxiety treatment on a flexible outpatient basis, enabling you to tackle the underlying causes and triggers for your anxiety, address your symptoms, and take steps towards a more positive way of life.

Stress treatment in London

Stress is typically experienced as a response to intense mental or emotional strain, and is becoming an increasingly prevalent issue in the context of modern working life. Whilst we can all feel stressed from time-to-time, if you find that you are struggling to cope with your stress, or it is causing you to feel both physically and emotionally exhausted, it may be that you require expert treatment and therapy to help you to overcome it.

Chronic and ongoing stress is unlikely to improve on its own, and can become worse over time, ultimately having a negative impact on both your personal and professional life. Outpatient stress treatment in London has been specifically designed to enable you to reduce your stress symptoms, learn new and healthier ways to cope with stress, and take steps towards recovery and wellbeing.

As well as supporting individuals who are struggling with mental health issues, Priory Wellbeing Centre Fenchurch Street can also help you to successfully deal with the demands and pressures of working life, and thrive in busy work environments. Workplace mental health is a prominent issue in today’s society and is especially pertinent in the context of modern city living. Work pressures such as excessive workload, organisational change, and lack of job security, can cause people to experience chronic stress (also known as ‘executive stress’), and may even lead to long-term mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Our London-based experts are able to support individuals who are facing mental health challenges related to work, helping them to manage demands, improve wellbeing and reduce stress.

Mental health problems in the workplace cost UK employers around £30 billion per year in lost production, absenteeism, and replacing staff. Therefore, we are also able to work closely with businesses looking to help their staff to manage the demands of working in a pressurised environment, maximise performance, and ultimately, create a more resilient and focused workforce. Whether it’s training for the entire organisation, or personal assistance for one employee, we have services to meet your needs.

At Priory Wellbeing Centre Fenchurch Street our experts recognise the negative effects that modern city life can have on an individual’s mental health. In an article with City A.M., Priory explores the reasons why increasing numbers of city workers are struggling with mental health difficulties, highlights the detrimental costs that this can have on organisations and productivity, and discusses the steps that can be taken to improve workers’ mental wellbeing.
