Research and Development at Creative Therapy

We at Creative Therapy are passionate about keeping up with the latest research and treatment methodologies related to the clients we work with in our clinical practice.  Part of remaining successful in delivering leading services to our clients means keeping engaged with many sources of information.  We have built and continue to expand our partnership with Universities doing leading research into relevant fields of study.  We also have a strong peer network that reaches out to complementary service providers such as Neuropsychologists, Physiotherapists, Physicians and Optometrists.

The human body is a fascinating and complex machine.  Our understanding of it is rapidly expanding yet ask any researcher and they will confide that we are only at the tip of the iceberg in terms of having deep knowledge of the entire system.  Our treatment strategies as therapists are often targetted at addressing the symptoms that a client presents with.  By having a better understanding of the root causes of the symptom we are better equipped to design and deliver more effective treatments.
