Khiron Cottage and Khiron Lodge
Our halfway house and lodge: live independently and access the full Khiron House residential programme daily
Khiron Cottage is a charming halfway house for up to four residents and Khiron Lodge is a sole occupancy residence both in a rural Oxfordshire village. Clients have access to the full Khiron House programme daily as well as 24/7 support a short walk away.
Khiron Lodge is a sole occupancy residence in a rural Oxfordshire village. Clients have access to the full Khiron House programme daily as well as 24/7 support a short walk away.
Khiron Cottage/Lodge residents live fully independent lives. There are fewer rules and restrictions than in the main clinic reflecting that these clients have progressed to a self-managing state in their recovery.
Some clients use Khiron Cottage/Lodge as a step-down facility while preparing to leave our own residential treatment. Others transition there earlier in treatment to access our full programme with fewer restrictions.
We will also consider admission straight into Khiron Cottage/Lodge from other programmes or referrals subject to an assessment.
The group and individual therapy programme at Khiron House includes:-
- Somatic Experiencing
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
- Internal Family Systems
- Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)

- Meditation
- Yoga
- Tai Chi
- Art Therapy

Clients at the residential clinic have individual sessions with our trauma treatment specialists three times a week. A fundamental part of the treatment programme is the group dynamic which optimises clients’ social engagement systems, and groups are offered twice a day.  Our core programme at the residential clinic also includes somatic equine involvement therapy, mindfulness, meditation, breathing techniques, yoga, tai chi and art therapy, and all of these generate results in symptom reduction and restore nervous system regulation and complement and support the individual sessions.
Khiron House also complies with the International Society for the Study of Trauma (ISSTD) guidelines (2011) for the treatment of trauma and works with its three phase model of:
- Symptom reduction and regulation
- Processing traumatic memories
- Consolidation and integration
