The Retreat Clinics is a world-renowned mental health clinic working with clients across the UK. We have a long and distinguished reputation for being innovators in the field of mental health care, from a pioneering start in 1792 to the present day, where we continue to build our services around the needs of our clients. The Retreat Clinics operates both remotely and from bases in Manchester and York, providing high quality services for adults, children, and young people.

In addition to privately funded therapy for a wide range of psychological presenting issues, we offer some services free at the point of delivery, through contracts with NHS partners and charitable funding. The service consistently achieves clinically significant improvements for clients, with excellent client feedback.

The Retreat Clinics Manchester is looking to recruit a talented, clinically strong sessional therapist able to offer in-person sessions in our Manchester service, in order to meet the needs of our growing client base.  In particular, we are looking for an accredited CBT therapist trained in working with children and young people.
