What the service offers
People referred to the clinic will initially be seen by a psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist for a detailed clinical assessment.
A range of further investigations may be subsequently employed, including questionnaires, symptom diaries, psychological tasks, and brain imaging.
We take a broad approach to assessment, formulation and treatment, considering a range of biological, psychological, and social factors that may be important in the development and maintenance of a person's voices.
Some of these treatments are being evaluated in clinical trials; participation in clinical trials is entirely optional.
The following treatments are available:
- Individual psychological therapy (cognitive behaviour therapy; CBT)
- Group cognitive behaviour therapy
- Pharmacological Pharmacological treatment
- Trans-cranial stimulation magnetic (TMS)
