The Arbours Crisis Centre was established in 1973, to provide personal psychotherapeutic care for individuals, couples and families in emotional and psychological distress. It is currently situated in a large Edwardian house in Crouch End, London and offers intensive and high quality care within a community environment by a group of experienced and skilled psychotherapists. The programme of psychotherapeutic care includes personal psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, art and movement therapies as well as a range of creative and social activities shared with and provided by resident therapists.
