Khiron Clinics London Day Clinic Specialist Outpatient Trauma Therapy
Intensive Trauma Treatment Without Leaving Your Life Behind
Who Is the London Day Clinic For?
Many of our patients come to us after previous treatments have not addressed the impact of traumatic events, or when standard psychological therapies alone have not been enough.
Our Trauma Day Clinic is designed for people who:
- Are weighed down by unresolved trauma that is affecting every part of life
- Feel their quality of life is being severely impacted by symptoms they can no longer ignore
- Know that weekly therapy sessions are not enough to bring lasting relief
- Cannot step away from work or family responsibilities to enter a residential program
- Feel trapped in cycles of disconnection, overwhelm, or emotional pain despite previous support
- Want to involve their family in the healing process, whether that means learning to manage trauma together, gaining support from loved ones, or working through difficult relational patterns with guidance
If you’re ready for specialist trauma treatment in London that fits into your life, our Day Clinic could be the perfect place for you.
What Makes Our London Day Clinic Unique?
Specialist trauma treatment of this intensity has, until now, only been available in residential programs. For many people in London, that level of care has simply been out of reach. The Day Clinic changes this by bringing together a full program of evidence-based therapies in a format that fits around real life.
Our clinicians are informed, trained, and supervised by some of the world’s foremost trauma experts, including Dr Bessel van der Kolk, Dr Janina Fisher, Dr Stephen Porges, Dr Dick Schwartz, Deb Dana, Licia Sky, and Linda Thai. This means every client benefits from approaches shaped by the very people advancing the field of trauma recovery.
Our clinic is located near Harley Street in a discreet and welcoming setting. The space has been designed to feel calm and restorative, making it easier to step away from daily pressures and focus on your healing.

What Is Trauma?

– Dr Bessel van der Kolk
The Nature of Trauma
“Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering.”
Dr Peter Levine
“Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.”
Dr Gabor Maté
How Trauma Gets ‘Stuck’
The Nervous System and Trauma
“Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort.”
Dr Bessel Van Der Kolk
How We Treat Trauma at Our London Outpatient Trauma Therapy Clinic
“Trauma victims cannot recover until they become familiar with and befriend the sensations in their bodies.” – Dr Bessel Van Der Kolk
This process helps regulate the nervous system, creating a greater sense of safety in the body and more control over emotions, triggers, and reactions.
Because trauma often originates in early relationships, it can continue to disrupt how we connect with others later in life. For this reason, we also support clients in learning effective communication skills, recognising triggers, and building coping mechanisms so that they can begin to experience healthier, more supportive relationships.
By assisting individuals in befriending their defences and fostering a sense of safety within their bodies, we guide them towards a journey of personal development, often referred to as post-traumatic growth.
Our therapies — from EMDR and Internal Family Systems to Somatic Experiencing and Neurofeedback — have all been chosen because they support this mind–body approach, helping clients recover on every level.
At Khiron Clinics, we combine a ‘top-down’ approach to treatment with a ‘bottom-up’ (somatic) approach, working with both the mind and the body to address the root causes of trauma. This means we allow the body’s responses and sensations to guide us in uncovering and releasing stuck trauma and emotions.
