What is the difference between a psychologist and a clinical psychologist?
Ataraxos takes an integrative approach to mental healthcare. We recognise that mental health does not exist in isolation from the rest of the body, and that factors such as sleep, physical health, lifestyle and stress can all influence how we feel and function.
Our approach combines evidence-based clinical psychology with a broader understanding of the factors that influence mental health. Where appropriate, we also collaborate with trusted practitioners across different areas of healthcare to provide more connected care.
What makes Ataraxos different from a traditional psychology practice?
Both psychologists and clinical psychologists are registered health professionals who provide psychological services. Clinical psychologists have completed specialised postgraduate training in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions and complex psychological difficulties.
At Ataraxos, our clinical psychologists use evidence-based psychological therapies tailored to each person's needs, goals and circumstances.

How is integrative mental healthcare different from traditional mental healthcare?
Integrative mental healthcare combines evidence-based complementary therapies and approaches with standard psychological care. This may include psychological therapy and, when appropriate, medication, alongside other evidence-based approaches that may support mental health and overall wellbeing.
At Ataraxos, we consider the individual as a whole and work collaboratively to determine which combination of treatments and approaches is most appropriate for each person. Our aim is to bring together the best available evidence across different areas of healthcare to provide personalised, connected care.

Can psychological treatment help improve sleep?
Yes. Psychological treatment can be highly effective for a range of sleep difficulties, particularly insomnia. Evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) address the thoughts, behaviours and patterns that can contribute to persistent sleep difficulties.
Improving sleep can also have a positive impact on mood, emotional regulation, concentration and overall wellbeing.
