Treatment Philosophy

At the core of Carlisle House is a commitment to a value base of respect, dignity and compassion. The model underpinning our treatment programme is a relational model, employing a systemic approach to therapeutic interventions. A strong emphasis is placed on creating a safe environment that will facilitate people to discover their own solutions to their own problems. At the centre of this approach is a focus on people's strengths and expertise. We work in ways that acknowledge the importance of different beliefs, cultures, contexts, and life experiences, and will adapt to your needs, resources and preferences. Our aim is not to take sides, blame, or provide simple answers. Rather, we aim to help people engage with others in shared understandings and explorations of different ways forward.
