Khiron Clinics
About Khiron Clinics
Khiron Clinics’ residential programme aims to be the final destination on the road to recovery, offering hope to clients let down by previous treatments for substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and other primary mental health conditions. Their clinicians are informed, trained, and supervised by the world’s leading trauma experts, equipping them to address the trauma often underlying each client’s condition.
Receive Specialised Trauma Care in 3 Phases
Khiron follows a 3-phase approach to treating conditions rooted in early or unresolved trauma. First, ‘Stabilisation’ focuses on reducing symptoms and learning about trauma and self-regulation. Next, ‘Trauma Processing’ builds safety in the body and mind, helping clients recognise triggers, manage emotions, and make mindful choices. Finally, ‘Integration’ helps clients take their newfound regulation, self-awareness, and knowledge into daily life.
Find Deep Healing in Mind-Body Practices
Khiron uses Polyvagal Theory-informed practices to create the conditions for deep healing. Blending additional techniques—such as eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), and equine therapy—clients connect with bodily sensations and the present moment to release trauma stuck in the body, desensitise distressing memories, reduce self-destructive behaviours, and relearn trust with others.
Enjoy Quiet and Connection
Nestled in the countryside northwest of London, Khiron’s housing ranges from a private bungalow to communal manor living. Clients eat nutritious meals, and enjoy plenty of downtime to stroll the gardens and trails, use the gym and pool, try cold water therapy (with clinical approval), make use of the communal computer or phone, or relax with the resident cat.
Maintain Progress with Aftercare
To support long-term mental well-being, clients can move to Khiron’s lower-dependency residential facilities or transition to outpatient therapy through their day clinic or 1-1 sessions, either online or in-person. Follow-up support also includes 3-, 6-, and 12-month check-ins.
If detoxification is needed, trusted clinics are available to ensure clients with substance use disorders are fully prepared for the trauma therapy offered.
