Information about this service

This is a therapeutic community which provides intensive residential group therapy for adults aged between 18 and 60 years. Currently the residential therapeutic community is not available due to the low numbers of residents and referrals. The situation may change if enough referrals are received, so please call the team to discuss this if you feel your client needs a residential service. Our team is experienced in carrying out assessment, liaison, supervision and training. Most of the team have been working as part of the Henderson Service for many years and are experts in working with clients with complex personality disorder. The team can offer a combination of the services listed below, as chosen by the referrer and client:
