The Science of Change

Over the last 20 years the number of mental health problems that have been classified as medical illnesses have grown beyond all measure.

This biomedical model, which argues that emotions such as sadness and grief are due to underlying biological faults or chemical imbalances within a person’s brain, is not supported by scientific evidence and is highly contested.

Mental health therapy & counselling, on the other hand, have a well established track record of alleviating emotional distress that goes back over 100 years.

Here at Lee Psychology we have helped many hundreds of clients to overcome a wide range of mental health problems since opening in 2009, and we can almost certainly help YOU too.

The workplace is a unique context where employees are subject to the authority and power of the owners or managerial structures.

We know that meaningful employment and the sense of achievement associated with productive work are positive factors in good mental health and wellbeing.

However, the work environment is also the place where abuses of power are most likely to occur.

Unlike the social network of friends that we might choose for ourselves, social relationships within the workplace are rarely chosen and can often be quite difficult or strained.

There are many factors that can contribute to mental health problems within the workplace including a lack of job satisfaction, a lack of control over how work is performed, badly managed change, a lack of support, unsustainable levels of demand and so on.

We have been delivering our mental health support programmes to the management and staff of the Black Country NHS ICB and the Birmingham & Solihull NHS ICB since 2018.
