What The Old Rectory Clinic does

The Old Rectory Clinic is a privately-held, multi-disciplinary mental health and wellbeing clinic founded in 2015 and located in a Grade II listed building in Iron Acton, near Yate, Bristol, UK. The clinic operates as a hub-and-spoke model: independent, vetted practitioners (clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, CBT therapists, EMDR practitioners, hypnotherapists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and complementary therapists) rent consulting rooms and run their own private practices while sharing the clinic's brand, cross-referral network, and digital presence. Core service lines are Mental Healthcare, Physical Therapy, and Health & Wellbeing, with bespoke sub-brands including The Peterson Practice (hypnotherapy) and The Autism Service (autism/ADHD assessment).

Revenue is generated through two streams: (1) recurring subscription-style room rental at approximately £44 per 5-hour block on a minimum one-block-per-week, two-month rolling contract, and (2) per-session fees on therapies (typically £60–£130) and assessments (£1,750–£2,950) charged by individual practitioners to end clients, with several practitioners accepting major UK private health insurers including Aviva, AXA, BUPA, Vitality Health, WPA, and Cigna. The clinic is owned and operated by Caroline Huish (Practice Manager) and Peter Huish, employs 11–50 staff, and lists 20+ practitioners, with operations Monday–Friday 9am–8pm across four consulting rooms plus online/teletherapy options. No proprietary technology, app, or API platform exists; the underlying infrastructure is real estate plus a WordPress website and standard social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube). There is no disclosed external funding, no institutional investors, and no M&A history.
