The Berkshire Psychology Service was founded by Dr David Purves who is a
Consultant Chartered Psychologist with more than 20 years years experience of psychological research and treatment both
in academic and clinical settings. Dr Purves and a network of associates provide cognitive behavioural therapy treatments
for the majority of psychological problems. See the headings for Trauma, PTSD, Depression and anxiety for more information
about these disorders and the treatment recommended by the Government and offered by this service.
There are literally hundreds of forms of therapeutic treatment practiced
by individuals. These range from the highly suspect to the plainly ineffective. It can be hard to make
a choice without access to the research and clinical evidence. The National Institute for Helath and Clinical Excellence
(NICE) was set up to provide healthcare professionals with the best available evidence on the effectivness
of different treatments. When there is evidence from research and clinical trials about what works it is negligent not
to use it to to make rational decisions.
The Berkshire Psychology Service provides all of the options recommeded
by NICE for the effective treatment of Depression, Anxiety disorders and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Not only do
you get a service from highly trained and respected professionals you also get a treatment proven to work in both
research and clinical trials.
