The Lyceum is a centre for anxiety and trauma in West London. Trauma and post traumatic stress can follow single, repeated or interpersonal events and may involve intrusive memories, avoidance, changes in mood or thinking, and a sense of being constantly on alert. An online guide cannot diagnose PTSD, explain an individual cause or determine the right support. An assessment can consider safety, physical health, current pressures, functional impact and personal goals. Clinical guidance can inform a discussion of trauma focused psychological therapy, but the focus, pacing and suitability of any work depend on the individual. Trauma focused CBT is not a fixed protocol to follow alone online and cannot guarantee an outcome. PTSD and the Workplace: trauma related difficulties can affect concentration, sleep, communication and attendance. Under the Equality Act 2010, a mental health condition may meet the definition of disability where it has a substantial and long term adverse effect on normal day to day activities. Reasonable adjustments are context dependent and should be discussed with the relevant employer, adviser or clinician. This is general information, not employment law advice. The Lyceum offers CBT consultations online and in West London. Current format, availability and funding arrangements can be discussed when you enquire. Published fees are £110 online and £140 face to face. If you need urgent support, use an appropriate emergency, crisis or medical service rather than relying on an online guide.
Frequently asked questions
Does this guide diagnose PTSD?
No. It provides general education only. Diagnosis and decisions about support require individual assessment.
Can trauma focused CBT be suitable for everyone?
No single approach suits every person. Assessment can consider safety, circumstances, readiness and whether another form of support may be more relevant.
What does PTSD and the Workplace mean?
Trauma related difficulties may affect work. Whether legal protections or adjustments apply depends on an individual situation and should be discussed with an employer, adviser or qualified clinician.
