The Laurel Centre provides support and treatment for sex and porn addiction through individual therapy, couples therapy, online treatment programmes, and the six-day Residential Recovery Course.
Established by Dr Paula Hall, the Laurel Centre is the UK’s largest therapy organisation that specialises in working with clients struggling with compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (commonly known as sex or porn addiction) and their partners. What began as one therapist’s mission to provide a treatment service to an underrepresented and often misunderstood client group has now grown into a 20 plus strong team of specialist, trained therapists based all over the UK with over 500 clients currently using the service, five different client courses available, and an accredited therapist training programme.
The beating heart of the Laurel Centre is the six-day Residential Course in Leamington Spa, the only residential course in the UK that is exclusively for those struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours. It is also the only residential treatment programme of its kind in the world to be scientifically evidence-based with proven results published in a peer-reviewed research journal.
Limited to a maximum of eight attendees, the residential has been designed to get clients away from their usual environment and focus all their attention on overcoming compulsive sexual behaviours. Offering the equivalent of 56 hours of therapy, it provides an environment that overcomes the shame, isolation and secrecy that often fuels addiction.
By the end of the course, clients can:
1. Understand the biological and psychological causes of their addiction.
2. Recognise and manage triggers.
3. Establish relapse prevention strategies to secure and maintain recovery.
4. Identify and overcome potential future blocks to recovery.
5. Develop long term strategies for re-establishing personal integrity and a healthy lifestyle.
The cost of the residential course includes bed and breakfast for five nights, lunch, refreshments, all treatment materials, a personalised aftercare plan, and a follow-up day three months after the end of the course. Upon completion, attendees are also invited to an aftercare group to receive continued support throughout their recovery.

Rehab spotlights
Finding the appropriate treatment option can be challenging.
In partnership with rehab facilities across the UK, we have created ‘spotlights’ that provide information about the services they offer to help you make an informed decision for yourself, your client, or your loved one.
