Personal training in mental health and learning difficulties

What We Do

Psychesoma works with clients who have mental health and learning difficulties.  We construct person-centred programmes that improve overall health and, most particularly, mood state and self-esteem. Our specialist physical trainers are skilled and experienced in working in this setting.  They integrate into existing services, becoming a part of the care team and providing valuable insights to the other members of that team. Ultimately this yields improved outcomes in all areas leading to a stable lifestyle.

Testimonials

I engaged Psychesoma in several settings, working with people with Learning Disabilities and a variety of Mental Health problems, for a period of three years.  Many of these patients had experienced serious and long term mental illnesses.  They were demotivated, suffered poor levels of fitness and poor self-esteem.  Julian worked with an exceptionally positive attitude.  Many patients went on to develop self-motivation, lose weight and gain fitness levels that they had never experienced before.  The provision of Psychesoma helped many patients to cope with the initial drowsiness caused by their medication regimes.  Within a short time, there was a remarkable improvement in their mood and in their level of alertness.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Psychesoma to any organisation treating people with mental illness.
