Providing high quality treatment for a diverse range of mental health difficulties and addictions.
ENQUIRE FOR MORE INFORMATIONChelmsford is one of the UK’s leading treatment centres and is rated by former patients for its excellence, dedication, commitment to individuals, as well as producing outstanding treatment outcomes.
The hospital first opened in 1992 and since then, has established an excellent reputation for providing fast access to high quality treatment for a range of addictions as well as treatment for mental health difficulties, including personality disorder diagnosis.
Our evidence-based interventions at Chelmsford are in-keeping with best practice in the field of mental health and addictions, and are developed by an expert team of Chelmsford based psychiatrists, mental health nurses, psychologists and therapists. Our treatment programmes are tailored to individual needs and structured within National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.
It is important to understand that addictions and other mental health challenges are treatable, and the most crucial first step is for you to seek expert support. Unfortunately, without professional help, these complex conditions can continue to worsen over time, and have a destructive impact on your quality of life. At Priory Hospital Chelmsford, excellent patient care is our primary concern and we are committed to ensuring that you are supported in your recovery journey in regaining a life meaningful to you.
Part of our specialist provision at Chelmsford is The Stables Therapy Centre where we provide individual therapy using a variety of modalities that are consistent with NICE guidelines, for therapeutic interventions.
These include:
Referrals to our therapy centre are either via a consultant psychiatrist or self-referral, usually via a GP. We are able to provide treatment to adults and young people and all individuals are offered an initial assessment to explore needs and benefits of therapy, before therapy will commence.
All our therapists are either accredited or working towards accreditation with a recognised regulatory body such as the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).
"The inpatient setting on Chelmer is so friendly and warm. The bonds between patients and staff are strong, empowering, and very special. The therapy team make every day insightful and thought provoking with their kindness, energy and knowledge... Overall the atmosphere here is bright despite the darkness around and I’ve seen first-hand how it can inspire, change, and improve lives."

We believe that the setting for mental health treatment is just as important in the recovery process as the treatment programme itself. Our striking Grade II listed building comprises luxurious single-occupancy bedrooms, each with modern en-suite bathrooms, providing the utmost comfort and wellbeing for our patients.
