The Priory Hospital, Roehampton, often referred to as The Priory,[1] is a private mental health hospital in South West London. It was founded in 1872 and is now part of the Priory Group, which was acquired in 2011 by an American private equity firm, Advent International.
The Priory has an international reputation and, because of the number of celebrities who have sought treatment there, widespread coverage in the press.[2] The hospital treats mild to moderate mental health issues, such as stress and anxiety, through outpatient treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy as well as in-patient care for more severe psychiatric illness such as depression, psychotic illness, addictions or eating disorders. It has residential facilities for 107 patients.
