Referral Process

Step-by-Step Guide

Initial Contact: You can initiate the referral process by giving clients Chris Meaden's contact details or website, where they can book an initial consultation online or via phone at 01892 800520, with a nominal £15 fee for the initial consultation to affirm commitment.
Client Assessment: The initial assessment by Chris Meaden involves a comprehensive consultation call, conducted via phone or Zoom for international clients, to assess the alignment of his therapeutic methods with the patient's specific needs, ensuring an effective and personalised treatment plan.
Treatment Plan: Chris Meaden develops a customised treatment plan based on the consultation call and the completed patient forms, taking into account the patient's level of trauma, current symptoms, and any medication they are on, to ensure the most effective treatment duration and approach.
Therapy Sessions: Therapy sessions are structured to maximise effectiveness. For patients aged 16 and above, sessions are two hours long, whereas for 10–15-year-olds and the elderly, the duration is typically one hour. The interval between sessions varies; the gap between the first and second sessions are scheduled 5-10 days apart for continuity, while subsequent sessions may be spaced out over weeks to allow clients to experience and adapt to changes in their behaviour and symptoms.

The Patients Journey

Here's a concise overview of a patient's journey with The Meaden Method, highlighting the customised treatment plan and the continuous support provided post-treatment:

Patients embarking on The Meaden Method experience a journey tailored to their individual needs, from initial assessment to a personalised treatment plan. Upon completion, ongoing support through the After Care Wellness and Resilience Online Program ensures sustained progress and well-being.

step 1

Book A Consultation Call via Website or Telephone

As a GP, you can facilitate the initial step by providing your patient with Chris Meaden's contact details and website information. We also offer business cards upon request. Patients have the flexibility to book their initial consultation either through the website or by directly calling 01892 800520. To ensure the commitment and seriousness of potential clients, there is a nominal £15 fee for all initial consultations.

step 2

The Consultation Call

The initial step involves a detailed consultation call with Chris Meaden, available via phone or Zoom for international patients. This call is crucial to evaluate if Chris's therapeutic approach aligns with the patient's specific needs. Should there be a mismatch, Chris will suggest alternative practitioners or methods more suited to the patient's circumstances. Conversely, if a mutual fit is found, Chris and the patient will then arrange suitable dates and times for the therapy sessions and discuss payment details.

step 3

Completion of Pre-Session Forms

After the appointment(s) have been scheduled, the patient will receive confirmation emails with links to securely complete essential online forms. These include a new client questionnaire and a personal history form, which are vital for providing background information and ensuring a productive first session. All submitted information is confidential and securely stored, accessed solely by Chris Meaden for the purpose of preparing for the session.

step 4

A Customised Treatment Plan

Chris dedicates 30 to 60 minutes before the initial session to review the patient's submitted forms, allowing him to craft a personalised treatment plan. This preparation means that sessions are immediately focused on therapeutic progress, as Chris is already informed about the patient's specific challenges. This method enhances the effectiveness of each session, ensuring that the time spent in therapy is directed towards achieving tangible results and advancing the patient's journey towards recovery.

step5

Initial Post Session After Care

After their first session, patients are invited to join the After Care Wellness and Resilience Online Program. This program complements their therapy by offering:

Assignments for Engagement: Patients are encouraged to engage with the program, using it to reinforce session learnings.
Journaling Practice: Each patient is advised to maintain a daily journal, noting their feelings and the effectiveness of techniques used.
Feedback Utilisation: Journal entries are then used in subsequent sessions to tailor the therapy to the patient’s evolving needs, ensuring optimal outcomes.

step6

Completion of Treatment Plan + After Care
