Khiron Clinics is a specialist mental health and trauma treatment provider based in Oxfordshire, UK, offering both residential and outpatient care. Founded in 2012, the clinic focuses primarily on trauma-related mental health conditions, supporting individuals with complex psychological needs through structured, clinically informed programmes.
Treatment Approach
Khiron Clinics operates a trauma-informed treatment model grounded in a Polyvagal-informed understanding of the nervous system. This approach focuses on how trauma affects emotional regulation, behaviour, and physical responses, shaping treatment around stabilisation, safety, and therapeutic pacing.
Programmes typically run for 14 days or longer, depending on clinical need and treatment goals. Care pathways are flexible and adapted to individual presentation, allowing treatment to address conditions that may not have responded well to conventional psychiatric or psychotherapy models. Services are available across residential, outpatient, and online formats.
Therapy and Clinical Support
Treatment at Khiron Clinics is delivered through a combination of individual therapy and structured group-based work. Therapeutic approaches draw from trauma-focused modalities commonly used in specialist care, including somatic and psychotherapeutic methods informed by leading trauma research.
Clinical support is provided by an experienced multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals trained and supervised by internationally recognised trauma specialists. Treatment is available for a wide range of mental health conditions, including PTSD, complex PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, personality disorders, dissociative conditions, OCD, phobias, panic disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, insomnia, and psychosis. This allows care to address complex and overlapping mental health needs.
