Pricing & Treatment Guide

Basic Treatment Guide

4 Phases

We begin with:

1. Health Screen: a thorough health screen with a secure online questionnaire.  This covers every aspect of mental and physical health together with DAS21 and ACE testing.

2. Discovery and Treatment: once you begin the discovery phase, see timeline below, we will initiate testing, therapies and connect in with your current medical practitioners for recent findings (bloods, scans, assessments)

3. Residential: once the discovery phase has been completed we will tailor a complete treatment solution based on findings and your individual needs.

4. Lifestyle Integration: after 3 weeks (typical) residential we support you back home with ongoing therapy, diet & nutrition, self-care techniques, continued gut restoration, lifestyle coaching and goal setting with case management to see outcomes through.

 
  • The 3 options below are based on DAS21 results.  Once you have filled out the anonymous DAS21 questionnaire you will get instant results and a gauge of where you sit in the severity scale of depression, anxiety and stress. To complete a DAS21 click here
  • Once you review your DAS21 score & scale for depression, anxiety and stress you can match it to a price point that best reflects your results.
  • Should you wish to continue we can send you the Goodsky Health Questionnaire.  Once we review your medical history and current concerns we can tailor a programme to meet your needs.

Please note that the DAS21 is NOT a diagnosis tool but merely a measurement based on an internationally recognised scale. The DAS21 does NOT take into account childhood adversities (ACE), trauma, PTSD, gut health, chronic infections/diseases, pain and lifestyle choices.  Therefore, once you fill out the Goodsky health questionnaire we can get a complete understanding of your case and make recommendations accordingly. 

Depression Scale

Mild: 5-6
Moderate: 7-10
Severe: 11-13
Extremely Severe: 14+

Anxiety Scale

Mild: 4-5
Moderate: 6-7
Severe: 8-9
Extremely Severe: 10+

Stress Scale

Mild: 8-9
Moderate: 10-12
Severe: 13-16
Extremely Severe: 17+

Of course, not everyone falls into the three categories below, they are just a guide.  However, if you feel that you do fall between the 3 estimated options, then we can start you off on the smaller programme.

Once we get results from testing, get you stabilised through initial treatments and therapy we can then look at extending the programme, if required.

After all, it is our aim to get you into remission in less time and with fewer resources where ever possible.
