Our teams across our secure services support a focus on recovery, reducing the time people have to spend on the ward. Minimising length of stay is a key focus and our secure wards benefit from being part of our integrated pathways of care, which aim to smooth transitions and shorten lengths of stay. These pathways include our neighbouring male mental health rehabilitation service, Cygnet Lodge Woking.

Our Psychology Department undertakes specialist psychological assessments, including personality, risk and neuropsychological assessments. They also provide individual, group and family interventions. A range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches are offered, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) ,Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) acceptance and commitment, motivational interviewing, solution focused approaches and family work.
