For mental health conditions such as depression, OCD or panic attacks, we offer a treatment programme which is more intensive than individual therapy and optimal for full recovery.
The programme includes a range of specialist therapeutic groups and individual therapy which can be integrated with advanced medication management as required.
This is because unlike many other traditional treatments, we offer a multidisciplinary team approach, drawing from a range of specialist expertise to devise a tailored treatment plan focussed on your specific needs.

A little more useful information
Treatment programme for adults with mental health conditions (18 years+)
Before you start our treatment programme, you will have an initial assessment at Schoen Clinic Chelsea with one of the clinical team where you will have the opportunity to talk about your current difficulties and what you have experienced in your life that may have led you to seek help at this point. You can usually have your initial assessment for treatment in as little as 24 hours.
Recommendations for which aspects of the programme will best meet your needs will be discussed and agreed with you. If together we agree the treatment programme will be helpful for you, it is usually possible to start the programme within days.
If treatment requires approval from a healthcare insurance provider, we are recognised by all the major insurers and can liaise directly with them to smooth the administrative process to minimise any delays.
If you are self-funding your own treatment, there are usually no delays.
You will be supported in your treatment by a team comprising healthcare professionals from a range of backgrounds (known as a multi-disciplinary team), who meet regularly to review treatment progress and plans.
The team can include psychologists, psychotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, family therapists, Consultant Psychiatrists, nurses and the sometimes the Clinic Manager.
You will have a key worker who will meet with you regularly to develop a care plan setting out your goals for treatment and support you as you progress. You will be able to attend a range of groups and have individual therapy as well as regular psychiatric reviews as required.
