Salvia Women's Therapy Centre

Who we are

Salvia Women's Therapy Centre was set up to continue the work of the The Women's Therapy Centre, which offered individual and group psychotherapy to women between 1976 and 2019. It ensured that psychotherapy was available to all women, regardless of ability to pay, sexual orientation, disability, cultural or social background, immigration status, previous psychiatric history or age.

Our culture and values

Salvia Women's Therapy Centre has ensured that psychotherapy is available to all women, regardless of ability to pay, sexual orientation, disability, cultural or social background, immigration status, previous psychiatric history or age.

Salvia Women's Therapy Centre currently offers the following services:

One-to-one therapy: individual therapy based on psychodynamic principles. Psychotherapy sets out to understand the underlying causes of a wide range of difficulties, which may sometimes be linked to particular experiences.

Taster sessions: These sessions give women the opportunity to explore feelings and fears about using mental health services and offer some insight into psychotherapy/talking therapies and the benefits of such therapy.

Psycho-education groups: a specific type of group therapy consisting of clients that all share similar difficulties. Psycho-education groups focus on coping with specific difficulties but also on the clients own strengths, resources and coping skills in order to contribute to their health and wellness on a long-term basis.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

It ensured that psychotherapy was available to all women, regardless of ability to pay, sexual orientation, disability, cultural or social background, immigration status, previous psychiatric history or age.
