Khiron Clinics

Khiron Clinics doesn’t treat diagnoses or symptoms. Instead, they focus on the underlying root causes of commonly diagnosed mental, physical, and behavioral health conditions to promote lasting healing, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, addiction, insomnia, digestive disorders, and much more.Clients have often already had treatment for these issues with limited success. As the world’s first Polyvagal Informed certified residential clinic, they provide revolutionised trauma therapy. Their residence, located northwest of London, offers multiple levels of care from an alternative to hospital care with 24/7 clinical supervision to independent living in a halfway house.

Globally Recognised Trauma Expertise

Khiron Clinics sees mental health issues as manifestations of unresolved trauma that leads to a dysregulated nervous system. Their staff have been trained, informed and supervised by the world’s leading trauma experts in the most effective modalities available such as Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk, Dr. Janina Fisher, Dr. Stephen Porges, Dr. Dick Schwartz, Deb Dana, Licia Sky and Linda Thai. They combine a 'top-down' approach to treatment with a 'bottom-up' (somatic) approach: using cutting-edge nervous-system based treatments, they let the body’s responses and sensations guide clients to uncover and release stuck trauma and emotions. This process helps regulate the nervous system, therefore increasing feelings of safety in the body and a greater sense of control over emotions, triggers, and reactions. Clients discover a new lens in which to view their issues, which can offer hope for recovery and a feeling of being truly understood, often for the first time.

The Most Up-to-Date Techniques

The treatments and therapies Khiron Clinics offer are informed by the latest research in trauma and by the trauma experts that supervise and train their clinicians. Drawing upon a large range of one-to-one and group modalities, staff listen to what works for each individual instead of only following traditional therapies. A sample of the therapy modalities includes Polyvagal-Informed therapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, somatic experiencing, trauma-informed stabilisation treatment, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and internal family systems. They also offer activities such as yoga, equine therapy, tai-chi, breathwork, cold water therapy, ecotherapy and more. The aftercare plan at Khiron Clinics for residential clients offers comprehensive ongoing support. Clients can move to lower-dependency residential facilities or transition to outpatient therapy through their day clinic or 1-1 sessions, either online or in-person. Follow-up includes 3, 6, and 12-month check-ins to ensure the client continues to feel supported.

A Welcoming Centre for Worldwide Clientele

Nestled in the charming countryside an hour and a half northwest of London, Khiron Clinics offers a range of housing options depending upon the level of care and privacy desired. Clients can receive 24/7 care in a private or shared room, or live independently solo or with others. Clients enjoy plentiful access to nature, gardens, walking trails, and a swimming pool. To make it easier for international clients to access their treatment, they arrange and pay for transport. They also offer a range of options for insurance and payment that they discuss on a case-by-case basis. They recognise that this process can be confusing and are committed to making it as smooth and efficient as possible, ensuring clients receive the necessary care without delay.
