A Private Intensive, built entirely around you.
For those who need something sooner, more private, or more specifically held than a scheduled group programme.
Private Intensives are available 1:1 or 1:2 by conversation only. Timing, format and fees are agreed privately with Simon.

Cannot wait for a scheduled date
Some circumstances do not fit neatly into a September or October date. A Private Intensive can move faster.
The work is too private for a group
Public profile, specific circumstances, or simply a preference for total discretion, sole use of the property removes the group entirely.
1:1 or 1:2 attention throughout
Every session, every day, is built around one person or one couple. Nothing shared, nothing generalised.
Life has become too much to carry alone
For people at a point where the usual ways of coping are no longer enough, a more immediate and carefully held response.
Full team. Full property. Full privacy.

Not suitable for people in acute psychiatric crisis or active addiction. If the group dynamic is what would serve you, the scheduled programme is the better route.
The Ridge Intensive is not an emergency or crisis service. If you are in crisis, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis line first.
When It Needs to Happen Soon
There are moments when waiting months for a scheduled programme does not feel realistic.
Private Intensives are for people whose circumstances need a more immediate, private and carefully held response. Sometimes timing is a matter of days, more typically a few weeks. It depends on the situation, suitability and the calendar.
The first conversation is where Simon works out what is possible, what is appropriate, and whether The Ridge is the right setting.
Common questions about a Private Intensive.
How is a Private Intensive different from the scheduled programme?
Same clinician, same wider team, same property, but arranged solely for you or you and a partner, with nothing shared with strangers, and the length and format built around your situation rather than a fixed calendar.
How quickly can a Private Intensive happen?
Sometimes days, more typically a few weeks, depending on the situation, suitability and the calendar. The first conversation is where this is worked out.
What does it cost?
Private Intensives are arranged by conversation only. Fees are confirmed privately once the format, timing and level of support are understood.
Is this a crisis or emergency service?
No. The Ridge Intensive is not an emergency or crisis service and is not suitable for acute psychiatric crisis or active addiction. If you are in crisis, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis line first.
Can a couple attend together?
Yes, Private Intensives are available 1:1 for one person or 1:2 for a couple working through something together.
A twenty-minute private conversation with Simon.
No cold booking process. It begins with a conversation, what you're carrying, what you're hoping for, and whether this is the right shape of work for it.
