Take the first step towards recovery

Book Your Initial Consultation with a Trauma Specialist

Every treatment journey at Khiron Clinics begins with an Initial Consultation.

It’s a one-hour conversation with a senior trauma clinician, designed to understand what you’re experiencing, your history, what’s brought you to this point and what support may be most appropriate for you.

You don’t need to know which treatment you need. That’s part of what we’re here to help you understand.

“One of the world's leading residential trauma-treatment centres."

A conversation about you, not just your symptoms

By the time people come to Khiron, they have often been struggling for a long time.

You may have had therapy before. You may have a diagnosis, or several. You may have tried different treatments without finding the change you hoped for. Or perhaps you’ve reached a point where you know something needs to change.

We start by listening.

Your Initial Consultation gives us the time to understand the bigger picture, not simply the symptoms you’re experiencing today, but your history, previous treatment, relationships, circumstances and the experiences that may have shaped how you’re feeling.

From there, we can begin to understand what you need and whether Khiron is the right place to provide it.

What Our Clients Have to Say

“The trauma focused approach has helped me understand myself better than any formal psychiatric diagnosis or any specialist NHS therapy I've ever received.“ - Victoria

For those suffering from unresolved trauma, and who live in this very difficult state I highly recommend Khiron Clinics. My therapists were the only ones who were able to get to my core. This after so many years of “regular” therapy.

Dane

I encountered and learnt a therapeutic language which finally explained the symptoms and coping mechanisms that had dominated the majority of my life.
