My Experience at an Intense Mental Health Retreat

The Chelsea Psychology Clinic Offers Bespoke Mental Health Wellness Retreat in Rural Wales

Feeling overwhelmed and constantly guilty for not taking a break, a writer shares their experience at a mental health wellness retreat hosted by The Chelsea Psychology Clinic in rural Wales. The retreat, unlike traditional wellness retreats, offers a personalized program tailored to each individual attendee’s needs.

Dr. Elena Touroni, co-founder of The Chelsea Psychology Clinic, recognized the limitations of one-dimensional wellness retreats and assembled a team of experts including pilates instructors, motion release therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, mindfulness experts, nutritionists, and sleep doctors to provide a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to wellness.

The writer, after an intense 90-minute session to identify their needs, discovered a deep-rooted need for rest after years of relentless activity. The retreat, set in the picturesque location of The Dreaming in Rhayader, offered a structured yet flexible schedule that included group sessions like pilates and sound baths, as well as one-on-one sessions to address personal goals.

One of the most impactful moments for the writer was being forced to rest by their host, who replaced a nutrition session with two hours of enforced rest. This radical act of not being productive allowed the writer to rediscover the restorative power of simply taking a break.

For those seeking radical change and a deeper understanding of themselves, The Chelsea Psychology Clinic’s therapeutic wellness retreat may provide the necessary push towards a healthier mindset. The next retreat will be held at the Six Senses Ibiza in October. Contact The Chelsea Psychology Clinic for more information.
