Adult Mental Health Services

Onebright is a specialist provider of psychological services. We offer mental health assessments and treatment, as well as neurodevelopmental diagnostic assessments.

We have partnered with Bupa to provide these services to their members ensuring rapid access to high-quality clinical care.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialises in the assessment, psychiatric diagnosis and medical treatment of mental health conditions. A clinical psychologist works from a non-medical model and seeks to understand individuals in the context of their own lives. They develop a formulation, or ‘shared understanding’ designed to help the individual and their family see why an issue might have developed, what triggers it and what stops it from going away. Their main type of treatment is talking therapy, and they can draw from a range of options to provide a tailored approach. It takes about the same amount of time to train as a psychiatrist and psychologist.

If you are looking for mental health support but don't know if you need a psychologist or psychiatrist, contact us and we would be happy to help you decide.

Yes, all our assessments are fully NICE compliant. We utilise different clinical models depending on the age of the patient and the type of assessment. With access to a full multidisciplinary team of clinical psychologists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, paediatricians, psychiatrists and nurse practitioners, we are able to adapt our clinical models to suit the needs of your patient group and the budget available.

Evidence-based therapy is the treatment of choice for most psychological problems, as outlined by the Department of Health-backed clinical guidelines.

It is an effective approach for common emotional problems such as stress, separation anxiety, anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, low self-esteem, addictions, pain, chronic fatigue, panic attacks, health anxiety and social anxiety.

All our clinicians are accredited with the BABCP and, as such, have strict ethical codes of conduct relating to confidentiality.  

Your clinician will only extend the parameters of confidentially if you tell us something that is an immediate danger to yourself or someone else.  If your clinician is concerned for your safety, they will discuss this with you with the view of keeping you and others safe. 

At Onebright, our assessments follow a simple, four-step process:

1. Screening - our psychology team will assess your neurodevelopmental makeup and needs and will refer you for a diagnostic assessment if results indicate it is necessary.
2. Understanding you better - someone who knows you well will fill in an online report and screening tool to help us understand more about you and who you were as a child.
3. Diagnostic assessment - you will meet with a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist, who will ask you questions about your symptoms and how they impact your life.
4. Diagnostic report - you will receive a comprehensive report with a full explanation of our findings and signposting for post-diagnostic support and treatment.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is considered one of the most effective types of psychotherapy for adults.

CBT helps teach individuals how to identify and deal with unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and emotions by teaching new methods for coping and problem-solving. The aim is that the individual can apply what they learn through CBT for the rest of their lives.

At Onebright, we offer face-to-face and online CBT services that are tailored to your individual needs.

If you or another adult in your life is dealing with a mental health crisis and are in immediate danger, call 999 or visit your nearest accident & emergency. You can also contact support organisations like Samaritans, Mind, or SANEline.

It is important to get help as soon as possible if you feel you or anyone else is at risk of harm.
