Services

We provide a flexible and responsive psychology service to adults (18 years+) with complex needs in the Lambeth homeless hostel network. Such people may have severe mental health problems, histories of complex trauma and comorbid drug and alcohol use.

Our service is provided by psychologists based across three Thames Reach hostels which provide a ÔPsychologically Informed Environment' (PIE) for residents and staff.

The PIE aims to ensure that everything that takes place within the hostel holds individuals' psychological and emotional needs in mind. It provides individual and group psychological therapy; and staff training, supervision, consultation and reflective practice. By increasing clients' psychological stability this service also aims to help them sustain future independent living, engage with mainstream mental and physical health services and find meaningful occupation.

This service is provided in partnership with the London Borough of Lambeth and Thames Reach hostels.

We specialise in treating people with chronic and persistent sexual problems. Our service offers assessment and treatment for individuals and couples who are experiencing difficulties with their sexual functioning, where the primary cause is psychological, or where the psychosexual problem has developed as a result of physical pathology.

We have a longstanding history of treating people psychologically for persistent difficulties relating to sex and gender. We can treat people with significant distress including those suffering from co-morbid depression or anxiety.

Our aim is to assist people to improve their sexual wellbeing and overall quality of life. We have expertise in treating people with a range of sexual dysfunctions which includes:

• anorgasmia
• delayed or absent ejaculation
• erectile dysfunction
• genital pain disorders, such as dyspareunia, vaginismus and vulvodynia
• persistent genital arousal disorder
• premature ejaculation
• sexual aversion
• sexual desire disorders; low or excessive sexual drive
• Other sexual difficulties:
  • fetishism and other unusual sexual practices
  • female genital mutilation (FGM)
  • pornography or cybersex addiction
  • sexual addiction
  • sexual trauma
• Psychological support for people experiencing gender dysphoria

Our Psychosis Community Services provides care for adults, aged 18-65, who have a psychotic illness. This involves distorted perceptions of reality - thinking, feeling, hearing and seeing - often with symptoms of hallucinations and delusions.

We are available to people who live in the London Borough of Lewisham and already receive treatment for mental illness from one of our other therapy services.

People eligible for our service must be on the Care Programme Approach (CPA). The CPA is for patients who need to see several people or organisations for their mental health care and treatment.

We help people to continue with the improvements they have made with their illness, teaching them the skills to live independently in their community.

We work with a team of health and social care professionals including nurses, doctors, social workers, occupational therapist psychologists. We also work closely with the patients, their carers and GPs, Benefit workers , Social inclusion recovery service (SIRS), Lewisham AMHP service, local day care centres and housing associations and supported living placements as required.
Due to Covid most of our services are now being provided virtually
