About Bayberry

Bayberry is part of UK Addiction Treatment Centres, providing residential treatment and support for adults experiencing alcohol use, substance use and mental health difficulties, including anxiety and depression. We are a highly-regarded, private, short-term residential clinic operating successfully for 17 years. As a unique and pioneering organisation, we are CQC regulated (rated 'Good' in all categories), approved to work with Private Medical Insurance (PMI) clients (such as BUPA), and provide specialist support to NHS doctors in need of therapeutic care.

Set within luxurious, serene countryside facilities, we describe our services as well-being and recovery. We serve a small number of clients at a time, providing an unusual opportunity to work intensively with them and input daily into their therapeutic journey. Because clients typically stay with us for a voluntary 4-week period, we see extraordinary results in very short timeframes.

Our Core Values:

At the heart of everything we do are our four core values:

• Understanding – listening, empathising, and responding to individual needs.

• Kindness – treating everyone with dignity, respect, and compassion.
• Accountability – taking responsibility for our actions and maintaining high standards.
• Teamwork – working collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes for our clients.

Role Overview

We are seeking a compassionate, skilled, and dedicated Psychotherapist to join our team. In this role, you will work within a supportive, multidisciplinary team using a pluralist dynamic, bringing together mixed therapeutic modalities to provide holistic, comprehensive care.

You will work with varied mental health presentations and co-morbidities (including anxiety, depression, low mood, grief/loss, impaired sleep, and substance/alcohol use). While we do not treat presentations like EUPD/BPD for specific outcomes due to the short-term nature of the facility, we do work with these clients holistically to provide support and coping strategies for their other presenting issues. We also support intimate partner work and psychosexual needs.
