Purple Octopus Management operates with a steadfast dedication to excellence in every aspect of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) assessment, diagnosis and successful management.
Their professional ethos is underpinned by a profound understanding of the complexities surrounding trauma and its enduring effects on mental health. This understanding is not merely theoretical; it is deeply rooted in the team's extensive real-world experience working with diverse populations.
"Own lived experiences" refer to the unique events, situations, emotions, and interactions that an individual has encountered throughout their life. These experiences are personal and subjective, shaped by one's background, culture, beliefs, and environment. They encompass everything from significant milestones and achievements to everyday challenges and moments of joy or sorrow.
Own lived experiences contribute to the formation of one's identity, beliefs, values, and perspectives. They play a crucial role in shaping how individuals perceive the world around them and how they interact with others. Sharing and reflecting on these experiences can foster understanding, empathy, and connection among individuals, as well as contribute to personal growth and self-awareness.
Their approach to providing a successful and manageable solution to PTSD is meticulous, informed by years of honing their diagnostic skills and staying attuned to the latest developments in psychological assessment tools and methodologies. They recognise the importance of thorough assessment in uncovering the nuances of each individual's experience, ensuring that no aspect of their trauma is overlooked or underestimated.
Pathways and solutions at Purple Octopus Management is not confined to a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, it is characterised by a bespoke approach that recognises the unique circumstances and needs of each client. Drawing upon a rich repertoire of therapeutic modalities, ranging from cognitive-behavioural techniques to mindfulness-based interventions, the team crafts personalised treatment plans designed to foster healing and resilience.
When recognising, assessing and treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children, young people and adults, POM adhere to the guidance published by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), of which our Clinical Lead and co-founder is a stakeholder for PTSD pathways. In line with the published guidance, Purple Octopus Management offer Trauma-Focused CBT, EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET) and Solution Focused Clinical Hypnosis for management of symptoms.
Moreover, Purple Octopus Management is acutely attuned to the broader ecological context within which trauma occurs. They understand that social support, environmental stressors, and cultural factors all play a crucial role in shaping an individual's response to trauma and their journey towards recovery. As such, their treatment approach is holistic, encompassing not only individual therapy but also family counselling, community outreach, and advocacy for systemic change.
In addition to their clinical expertise, the team at Purple Octopus Management exudes warmth, empathy, and unwavering support for their clients. They create a therapeutic environment characterised by safety, trust, and validation, empowering individuals to confront their trauma with courage, leading towards pathways and solutions.
