THE KEEL APPROACH

Psychoeducational Goals

We know that learning, insight and understanding of mental health conditions – their causes, symptoms and available treatments – improves outcomes. Psychoeducation is an empowering process of personal development and is a recognised part of the therapeutic process.

Humanistic Approach to 
Human Potential

By focusing on the whole person and celebrating the uniqueness of every individual, we help people to recognise their true value, and work towards growth, expansion and self-actualisation.

Coaching and Healing Identities

We use specialist coaching to lift the focus of attention onto strengths, successes and future possibilities. By leaving behind mistakes and failure, and removing judgement, blame and self-limiting beliefs, we can begin healing our identities.

Trauma and its Legacy

Traumatic experiences get laid down in our minds and bodies, impacting our mental and physical health. Healing trauma requires specialist treatment with sensory motor therapies that work with the neurobiological connections between mind and body.

Emotional Health and Regulation

Our emotional health at 16 predicts levels of life satisfaction in adulthood, over and above all academic qualifications up to PhD level. Acceptance, self-compassion, reframing and mindful awareness are some of the evidenced based strategies known to improve our emotional regulation.

Human Givens

We all have innate physical and emotional needs. The extent to which these needs are being met determines our levels of wellbeing and mental health.

Evolutionary Biology

Human connections and relationships founded in feelings of safety, provide the bedrock to our mental health and fitness. Polyvagal Theory’s revolutionary map of the nervous system explains these underlying mechanisms for our behaviour and feelings.

360 Approach

We work from a multi-modal approach and look beyond symptoms. We seek to understand the biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors which might be impacting our mental and physical health.
