Steve Clarke

Managing Director - Priory Flourish

About

Steve is the Managing Director of Priory Flourish, currently located at Priory Eden House. He first worked with Priory between 2014 and 2017 before spending time in Barbados establishing an ultra-high net worth addiction treatment centre. He returned in 2018 and has continued his career with Priory through to 2025. Steve was previously Hospital Director at Priory Hospital Roehampton.

Priory Flourish is a group of therapy-led residential addiction service based at a number of locations across the UK. It supports people recovering from substance or behavioural addictions who do not require medical detox or ongoing physical care. Offering 14, 28 or 42-day programmes, Flourish combines group therapy, psychoeducational workshops and recovery-focused activities within a supportive community. As a more affordable, community-based alternative to hospital treatment, it provides the structure and care needed for lasting recovery.

Steve is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), where he has been registered since 2011. He was also Hospital Director at Priory Life Works, where he designed and delivered the current eating disorder programme.

Alongside his leadership roles, Steve is an experienced psychotherapist with expertise in addiction and mood disorders, with a particular focus on eating disorders.

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and have worked for many of the world's leading private addiction, eating disorder and mental health treatment centres.

I have several years’ experience in private practice, specialising in the psychology of addictive behaviours and hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Addiction Psychology and Counselling from London South Bank University.

I also hold master practitioner status in eating disorders, nutrition and obesity. I draw on a wide range of therapeutic models and look at how addiction forms psychologically, genetically and biologically.

I have also worked with a major UK charity specialising in working with children of dysfunctional families who may experience bullying, bereavement, domestic violence, family breakdown, neglect and trauma.

Not only do I specialise in addiction, mental health and eating disorders, but I have also held a number of senior roles with some of the world’s leading blue chip organisations and therefore fully understand the complexity and difficulty of how addiction, stress, depression and eating disorders impact the workplace.
