Our Approach to Psychology and Healing M.E.

Video 1: An introduction to psychology and M.E.

Please click here to view videos 2 and 3 in this series.

The idea that we could even have a psychology department for some people is initially surprising. M.E. is after all a very real physical illness. However, it is also unquestionable that psychology based techniques such as those we have been pioneering in the clinic can have dramatic effects with M.E. patients.

Our approach as a clinic has been to consistently study and research all of the various treatment approaches available with the goal of creating the most integrative and effective protocol available.  Some of the approaches that have influenced our protocol include:

  • The Lightning Process
  • Reverse Therapy
  • Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
  • CBT
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming
  • The Enneagram
  • Life Coaching
  • Hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis

Practical Information:

Treatment on the psychology side of the clinic takes place in three ways:

The 90 Day Programme
1. The 90 Day Programme: This is the clinic's groundbreaking psychology based training course for M.E. – please click here for full details.

Face to face sessions 2. Telephone Treatment Programme: The “Telephone Treatment Programme” lasts around three months (although there is flexibility for patients to adjust this as appropriate), and serves as the best possible kickstart to treatment on the psychology side for patients unable to attend the clinic or a 90 Day Programme. Please click here for full details.
3. Face to face sessions: These take place at the clinic in Central London or at our North London Training Centre. Initial sessions are usually 1 ½ - 2 hours, and follow ups an hour. Please click here for full details.

The best way to find out which of these is most appropriate for you is in a 15 minute chat.
