Counsellor and therapist are umbrella terms used to describe professionals who provide emotional and psychological support. However, the level and type of training can vary considerably between practitioners.

Practitioner Psychologists — including Clinical, Counselling, Educational and Forensic Psychologists — hold legally protected professional titles. They:

• Are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
• Have completed extensive specialist postgraduate training, typically involving a minimum of six years of higher education and professional training.
• Are trained in psychological assessment, formulation, diagnosis and evidence-based psychological therapies.

Our psychotherapists are also highly trained professionals, with relevant specialist qualifications and professional registration. For example, our CBT therapists may be registered with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).

At The Purple House Clinic Rugby, we believe it is important that clients understand who is providing their care and the training and professional standards that underpin the services we offer.

Therapy at The Purple House Clinic Rugby is delivered by HCPC-registered Practitioner Psychologists and experienced psychotherapists, all with specialist postgraduate training and expertise in their areas of practice.

We provide:

• Evidence-based psychological therapies, including CBT, EMDR, IFS, ACT, DBT, CFT and integrative psychological therapy.
• In-depth psychological assessments and formal diagnoses, where appropriate.
• Support across a broad range of mental health, neurodevelopmental and wellbeing needs.
• Systemic working, where appropriate, considering the wider context in which an individual lives, including their family, relationships, education or workplace.
• Consultancy and psychological support for schools and workplaces, helping organisations and professionals better understand and respond to psychological and neurodiversity-related needs.

Our approaches allow clinicians to draw on a broad range of specialist knowledge and perspectives. This supports a high standard of clinical quality, while ensuring that assessment and therapy remain tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

When you contact The Purple House Clinic Rugby, we will take the time to understand your needs, circumstances and preferences. We can then recommend the clinician or therapist whose experience, expertise and approach are best suited to you.

We recognise that finding the right professional can make a real difference to the therapeutic process, so we aim to ensure that support is individualised from the outset.

We also offer autism and sensory assessments, delivered by Psychologists and other allied health professionals experienced in neurodevelopmental work.

If you are unsure whether funding may be available, our team can discuss the options with you when you make an enquiry.
