Welcome to The Ansel Group

For people with Complex Mental Health Needs, Challenging Behaviours and Personality Disorders

For a short film of our work please follow this link

 

Clinically led with a clear service vision The Ansel Group develop and deliver services only for people with complex mental health needs, challenging behaviours and personality disorders. This is our specialism, focus and motivation. It is a unique approach and a powerful catalyst for change.

Our skill is in addressing each patient’s persistent, underlying disorders and behaviours in addition to their overlying mental health and general well being needs. We can make a difference where others can't.

Our psychologically informed and planned services are delivered within an operational framework developed specifically to meet the needs of the patients we work with. This means that our approach is consistent, boundaried, safe, resilient and clinically directed. 

The experience and broad skill set of our professional clinical team enables us to deliver a range of therapeutic interventions. We are not a single therapy model service. We structure our approach to each patient’s different and changing needs. Our services are offered in time limited episodes of care at an inclusive price and with agreed outcomes and break points.

We are good at what we do. Our patients make significant progress in relatively short periods of time. Our average length of stay is 15 months and 30% of our patients have been discharged within a year of arrival at the Clinic.

The Ansel Group - our commitment to making a difference

Our aspiration is to be respected for being the best, not the biggest. We are focused and dedicated. We will continue to make a real difference in people’s lives
