The services at Ty Gwyn Hall promote a culture of trauma-informed care and compassion-focused therapy, which is reinforced through ongoing staff training. We continually review any restrictive practices and encourage people to participate as fully as possible in all activities and community-based services as possible, according to their needs.

To support people in distress or feeling unsafe, we may use relational procedures to maintain safety, such as enhanced supportive observations.

We are committed to co-production and actively encourage service users and their carers to collaborate with our team in planning care and meaningful engagement.

The support we offer

We offer evidence-based therapies including:

• Eye Movement De-sensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Systemic Family Therapy (SFT) delivered individually or in group settings

Our Responsible Clinician has a special interest in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the use of clozapine outside of psychosis. We can support individual treatment with Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). We have clinicians trained in autism assessment and diagnosis.

By adopting a recovery-oriented approach and using the Recovery Star framework, we aim to achieve the best possible rehabilitation outcomes.
