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
• Mickel Therapy
• The Linden Method
• 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:

	1. The 90 Day Programme: This is the clinics groundbreaking psychology based training course for M.E. – further information follows, and full details can be found at www.The90DayProgramme.com
	2. Face to face sessions: These take place at the clinic in Central London, and there is also some availability in Darlington.  Initial sessions are usually 1 ½ - 2 hours, and follows up an hour.
	3. Telephone sessions: These sessions are appropriate if you are either unable to travel, or for ongoing support after The 90 Day Programme.  Initial session are usually an hour, with follows ups for forty-five minutes.

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