Midhurst Clinical Therapeutic Services

What Midhurst Clinical Therapeutic Services does

Midhurst Clinical Therapeutic Services (MCTS) is a UK-based social enterprise delivering specialist psychological and therapeutic services to children, young people, adults, and families affected by trauma, adversity, and neurodevelopmental differences. The organization operates a small core team alongside a nationally distributed network of 60+ self-employed affiliate clinicians spanning clinical, counselling and forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, autism and ADHD diagnosticians, nurses, social workers, and psychotherapists. MCTS runs five core service lines: Expert Witness Services (family court, medico-legal, and criminal proceedings), the ATIC™ (Attachment and Trauma Informed Care) clinical support package for residential care providers and fostering agencies, private Autism and ADHD Assessments, a broad therapy portfolio (CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy, EMDR, Play Therapy, Family Therapy, and others), and Consultation and Training for professionals. The company also operates online expert witness and clinician directories and a clinical management software platform used for scheduling, record-keeping, and file storage by all affiliates.

MCTS's revenue model is predominantly fee-for-service, with assessment pricing publicly disclosed and transparent: autism assessments £1,920–£2,160, ADHD assessments £1,080–£1,195, combined autism/ADHD assessments £2,560–£2,850, and expert witness engagements ranging from £1,275 to £3,575+ depending on case complexity, paid to affiliates at £60–£85 per hour. The ATIC™ model is sold as an integrated clinical package with embedded clinicians, with MCTS structuring placement fees so the cost of service is covered by placing authorities. Klarna payment plans support private-pay affordability. The go-to-market is referral-led: a dedicated referrals coordinator matches incoming enquiries to clinicians, with top-of-funnel demand generated via SEO, professional networks (solicitors, local authorities, NHS providers, schools, care providers), and direct self-referrals through free consultations. Services are delivered across England and Wales, with face-to-face therapy in six UK cities and online delivery for assessment and therapy elsewhere.

MCTS is registered with Social Enterprise UK and commits to reinvesting at least 51% of profits into service improvement. The company is privately held, discloses no funding rounds, no parent entity, and no institutional investors, and operates as a certified B2B/B2C clinical service provider with regulatory compliance spanning HCPC, GMC, NMC, Social Work England, OFSTED, CQC, DfE, and CPR Part 35/Part 19. Documented outcomes include 9.9% fewer placement breakdowns in ATIC-supported services and over 1,000 families supported since 2018.
