About
Steve is the Managing Director of Priory Flourish, currently located at Priory Eden House.

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.
