Individual funding for trauma therapy

30 replies

I’ve been assessed by Khiron clinics as needing 1-4 months of treatment residential to begin with 24/7 for severe trauma and mental health issues. I’m waiting on a care plan to send to my gp but I’m wondering if this is a remote possibility in terms of funding. Circs are fairly dire and family in crisis and outcome has been very difficult. Has anyone had experience of this kind of funding and how best to help myself?

Khiron aren’t hospitals or run by medics. Clinic can mean beauty clinic, or a medical
service - Khiron clinics are like beauty clinics or spas or saunas.

They seem to do alternative therapy.

You won’t get NHS funding for a spa break OP - and it wouldn’t be a good idea to rely on a health farm if you’re mentally ill.

what’s your diagnosis?

That's weirdly inaccurate and unhelpful @Supersimkin7 and quite nasty.

They're on the nhs website as an approved MH provider and take nhs referrals I checked. It's not a health farm ffs. They have outpatient and residential treatment. From psychiatric, psychology and other trauma related therapies. That's why I contacted them. I was assessed by a clinical psychologist.

What sort of person comes on to a thread like this and shames the op for seeking help at a specific place. Believe me I've tried to go to GP, crisis, CMHT, psych, psychologists and so far I've got no where and maybe I just didn't try hard enough I don't know. I also know that this is a lifetime of it, and the triggers and hyper vigilance are so bad. I've tried just treating with meds and I've done talking therapy to death over the years and I'm not fixed. So this seemed like a good place to look at everything and help me understand how to put the past in the past and cope with life better. Maybe I can't afford it but I also can't afford not to try.
