Every mind requires a different map out of the dark.

The Lyceum Clinic is a private CBT practice led by Sanah Younis, a BABCP accredited therapist. The clinic is built around clear information and careful assessment rather than promises about what therapy will achieve. A webpage cannot diagnose a condition, explain the cause of someone’s difficulty or decide which approach will be suitable for an individual. People make contact for many different reasons, including worry, panic, intrusive thoughts, low mood, burnout, self criticism, health concerns, neurodivergence, trauma or a change in life. These are starting points for a conversation, not labels or predictions. An assessment can explore what is happening now, relevant health information, current safety, previous support, personal circumstances and what matters to the person seeking help. CBT is collaborative and structured, but it is not a standard sequence applied in the same way to everyone. A discussion may consider patterns in thoughts, emotions, behaviour, routines and physical sensations. If CBT informed ideas are relevant, the focus, pace and any between session reflection are agreed together and reviewed as more becomes clear. Approaches such as behavioural experiments, exposure informed work, behavioural activation, acceptance based ideas or compassion focused ideas may be discussed when appropriate. A page label does not prescribe a technique. Sanah’s BABCP accreditation reflects professional CBT training and ongoing standards. It does not guarantee a particular treatment format, number of sessions or outcome. Research and clinical guidance can inform an assessment, but findings from groups of people cannot identify the best route or likely result for one individual. The person seeking support remains the expert on their own experience, needs and circumstances. Face to face arrangements can be discussed in Chiswick, Ealing and the Richmond venue, and online appointments can be discussed where appropriate. Current availability, travel, accessibility, privacy and practical suitability should be checked directly. An initial conversation can be used to ask about the clinic’s arrangements and whether a fuller assessment may be useful. It does not commit anyone to a particular approach, duration or outcome. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, use an appropriate emergency or urgent service rather than relying on this page.
