The Clear Thinking Clinic consultants specialise in a range of psychological treatments, but they are all underpinned by three guiding principles.  

 

Firstly, CTC consultants provide psychological treatments that meet the gold standard of evidence-based practice.  That is, our interventions have been scientifically tested and proven to be effective.  

 

Secondly, they are delivered with unconditional positive regard and an authentically compassionate focus.  

 

Thirdly, all CTC interventions are offered only with your informed prior consent, which you are free to withdraw at any stage and without notice.  

 

The scientific method is essential in psychotherapy because it ensures that treatment approaches are evidence-based rather than reliant on intuition or anecdote. By systematically observing, hypothesising, testing, and evaluating therapeutic interventions, practitioners can refine techniques that are proven effective. 

 

This process fosters accountability, consistency, and replicability in clinical practice. It also protects clients from untested or potentially harmful methods, promoting safer and more reliable care. Moreover, applying scientific rigor to psychotherapy strengthens its credibility as a discipline, bridging the gap between psychological theory and practical application. Ultimately, it provides clients with treatments grounded in measurable outcomes.​​​
