Khiron Clinics

What Khiron Clinics does

Khiron Clinics is a UK specialist mental health provider focused on residential and outpatient treatment of trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, and related conditions such as dissociation, personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. Founded in 2012 by psychotherapist Benjamin Fry following his own recovery journey, the company operates a tiered continuum of care comprising five residential facilities in Oxfordshire (Khiron Bungalow for 24/7 individual care, Khiron Clinic as a hospital alternative, Khiron House for community living, plus Khiron Cottage and Khiron Lodge for transitional independent living), a London Day Clinic at Harley Street, an online day clinic, individual outpatient therapy, online group therapy, a child and adolescent service (Khiron Kids), and family workshops. Its core methodology is nervous-system-based, Polyvagal-informed trauma therapy integrating Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, neurofeedback, and adjunct body-based practices (yoga, qigong, cold water, equine therapy); Khiron is the world's first Polyvagal Informed certified residential clinic, with clinicians trained and supervised by globally prominent trauma researchers including Dr Bessel van der Kolk, Dr Stephen Porges, Dr Janina Fisher, Deb Dana, and Dr Dick Schwartz.

The business generates revenue primarily through private self-pay residential placements sold in 60-day minimum blocks topped up monthly, NHS-funded admissions via more than 40 referring clinical care groups and trusts, and a growing outpatient and online services mix. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires brochure download; online groups start from £40 per session. The company serves a global client base — organising and funding international travel for clients from the Middle East, Canada, and the US — alongside UK self-referrals and clinician referrals. Khiron holds CQC registration with a 'Good' rating across all inspection dimensions, BACP, BPS, and HCPC professional affiliations, and maintains 25 directly employed staff supported by a broader therapist network.
