We are also able to offer a specific method of therapy for fast and effective depression treatment, which is known as the rapid acting programme in depression (RAPID) by triple chronotherapy. This inpatient treatment is only available in a few centres throughout the world and therefore, we are pleased to be able to offer this pioneering approach at North London. This form of therapy consists of restricting patients’ sleep on one night, known as ‘wake therapy’, before allowing them to sleep in phases, combined with light therapy, until they resume a normal sleeping pattern. Research suggests that this form of therapy can alleviate the symptoms of depression in just a few days.

Our flexible treatment programmes include outpatient therapy and day care, which are individually tailored and designed to fit around your work and other commitments, as well as more intensive inpatient (residential) treatment, for those who require continuing monitoring and support for their mental health needs. We also have strong links with our outpatient services at Priory Wellbeing Centre Harley Street and Priory Wellbeing Centre Fenchurch Street, making our services accessible to all, even for those who live and work in the city.
