Why go to Sentiens?

Sentiens Clinic provides an evidence-based structured approach to mental health care that integrates psychotherapeutic individual and group programs, mental health promotion and self-management education.

This humanistic treatment method is well accepted by patients because it is focused on skill building, lifestyle issues, problem-solving, medication adherence and other practical aspects of managing ones health condition.

The key benefits to patients are improvements in quality of life through supportive strategies such as:

  • programs designed to improve knowledge and understanding of their illness;
  • skill development and building on current strengths;
  • psycho-educational programs that identify barriers to understanding illness and building awareness;
  • treatments that cover the physical and mental aspects of health; and
  • medicines education and support to increase compliance with treatment.
The response to this treatment is positive as treatment strategies are focused on the management of lifestyle-related change rather than simply focusing on the patient’s illness and symptoms. By providing an alternative to inpatient treatment, we are offering people a choice of high quality mental health service without having to be admitted to an overnight hospital.
