Adult wellbeing pathway
Mental Wellbeing Services For Adults
Arete Health offers thoughtful, specialist support for adults experiencing emotional, psychological, or neurodevelopment-related challenges. We aim to help people feel heard, understood, and guided towards support that genuinely fits their needs.
Valuing neurodiversity
Support that respects the person, not just the problem.
At Arete Health, we recognise that every mind works differently. Many adults reach out because they are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn next. Our approach is grounded in empathy, specialist understanding, and practical care that helps people make sense of what they are experiencing without losing sight of their strengths.
Whether someone is living with anxiety, burnout, low mood, trauma-related difficulties, relationship strain, or questions around autism or ADHD, we aim to create a safe and supportive pathway forward.
Expert guidance at every stage
How Our Mental Wellbeing Assessment Works
- ReferralA short referral form helps the team understand what is being experienced and which clinician is best suited to support.
- Expert Psychological EvaluationsA clinical or counselling psychologist explores the difficulties in a safe, welcoming space designed to help people feel heard.
- Clinical Formulation And RecommendationsFindings are explained clearly so the person better understands what may be contributing to the difficulties they are facing.
- Detailed Report And RecommendationsWhere helpful, a written report can support onward referrals, workplace discussions, or a more consistent shared understanding.
- Ongoing Therapy And SupportSupport may include therapy, practical strategies, exploratory work, or onward referral for more specialist assessment where appropriate.
- Referral For Autism And ADHD AssessmentsWhere indicated, the pathway can also help identify whether fuller neurodevelopmental assessment would be beneficial.
