Treatment for mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety must be personally tailored to bring about long-lasting freedom in a person’s life. Under the guidance of our lead psychiatrist Dr Anja Kriegeskotten, The Banyans designs an individual program for you to help you regain joy and contentment.
Onsite psychiatrist and medical specialist for thorough medical support and supervision
Daily therapeutic appointments with psychologists, ancillary therapists and support staff
24/7 support from trained mental health staff ensures safety, security and care
Focused, personalised treatment to ensure effective, measurable results
Guests experiencing mental health challenges benefit from regular psychiatry consultations with Dr Anja Kriegeskotten or one of our consulting psychiatrists. Dr Anja will review any current medications, while assessing the need for new prescriptions or dosage changes. Onsite registered nurses support guests during the introduction and management of new medications. These change are best undertaken under medical supervision and with close support.
The Banyans has a highly qualified team of psychologists and degree-qualified ancillary therapists to deliver a wide array of emotional therapies. These include traditional psychology sessions, as well as neurologic music therapy, EAGALA accredited equine assisted therapy, art therapy and counselling. A multimodal approach is particularly beneficial for guests who may not respond well to traditional “talking therapies”.
I was stuck in rut that I didn’t know how to get out of. The Banyans turned that around for me. I am excited for my life again.
There has been extensive research into the relationship between gut health and mental health. The gut plays a substantial role in the production of “happy hormones”. Advanced genetic and nutritional tests inform our nutritionist on the best way to restore your gut health through supplements and a balanced diet, while avoiding food intolerances that trigger inflammation.
Physical therapy is often one of the most rewarding aspects of The Banyans program for individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Physical activity provides an instant increase in endorphins, and reaching physical goals can be very encouraging. An exercise physiologist works with qualified personal trainers, yoga therapists, and aqua therapists to encourage personal leadership and maximise the benefits of exercise on mental health.
For those who may be experiencing more than one condition, the personalised nature of each program can incorporate elements of treatment for multiple conditions. We are able to incorporate elements of treatment for anxiety, substance misuse and abuse, chronic stress, trauma, and eating disorder into a program for depression.
