East Kent Personality Disorder Service

The East Kent Personality Disorder Service in Folkestone is a one year group-based therapy programme for up to 24 members at any one time. The Community is a community facility housed at Ash Eton, close to the Royal Victoria Hospital.

On community days we have the use of three group rooms including a large community and art studio space and a good sized kitchen and dining room with an adjoining lounge area. Some rooms overlook the park and effort has been made to try to make the setting comfortable.

There is a two-three month introductory group, for two hours per week to help orientate potential members to the programme. This is an opportunity for initial introductions and to start to focus on what each member would like to gain from therapy.

Therapies include talking therapy, art therapy, a writing group, studio time and the leavers group.
