Clarion Ward at Cygnet Nield House is our complex personality disorder service for women. We can support women with comorbidities, such as disordered eating, self-harm and complex needs.
The service offers a phased treatment pathway which aims to help the individual service user understand and plan their journey through treatment. Clarion Ward focuses on the need for treatment to be collaborative with service users taking account of individual need, evidence based, driven by multi-disciplinary understanding, support and interventions. This allows the service user to progress through the service and increase their quality of life and functioning.
