At Moffatt Psychology, I am dedicated to enhancing your mental well-being through expert psychological therapy sessions. I am an experienced psychologist who employs evidence-based psychological interventions to guide you through life’s hurdles, ensuring you receive the best possible care tailored to your unique needs.

Rationale for Evidence-Based Psychological Interventions

Evidence-based psychological interventions are mental health disorder treatments that have been scientifically tested and proven to be effective through rigorous research. The rationale behind using these interventions includes:

  1. Effectiveness: Ensuring that treatments provided to patients are based on the best available evidence, resulting in high efficacy.
  2. Safety: Minimising harm by relying on interventions that have been thoroughly tested.
  3. Consistency: Offering standardised treatment protocols that can be replicated across different settings and practitioners.
  4. Accountability: Providing a basis for psychologists to justify their treatment choices to patients, other healthcare providers, and payers.
  5. Resource Allocation: Ensuring that resources are used for treatments that have been proven to work, optimising healthcare expenditure.

My Therapy of Choice

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy also known as CBT is a structured, time-limited psychological intervention that addresses the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It aims to change maladaptive cognitive patterns to improve emotional regulation and develop personal coping strategies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is also a level 1 evidence based psychological intervention for most common psychological disorders.

Level 1 Mental Health Disorders for CBT:
Level 2 Mental Health Disorders for CBT:
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): While highly effective, the evidence is slightly less robust compared to its use in depression and anxiety.
  • Eating Disorders: CBT is effective but sometimes combined with other treatment modalities like medication or nutritional support.
Level 3 Mental Health Disorders for CBT:
  • Schizophrenia: There’s growing evidence supporting the use of CBT for psychotic disorders, but it’s not as strong as for other conditions[1](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7001356).
  • Bipolar Disorder: CBT can be effective as a supplementary treatment but is generally part of a broader treatment plan.

In summary, CBT is a well-supported, evidence-based treatment that is highly effective for a variety of mental health disorders, particularly those classified as Level 1 disorders like the most common mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety.
