About this facility
Situated in Cape Town’s tranquil Kenilworth suburb, the clinic specializes in residential treatment for trauma, burnout, anxiety, addictions, and medication dependency. Care is highly individualized, with a structured daily program running from 8 am to 3 pm that centers on intensive, one-on-one therapy with a dedicated private counselor. With a maximum capacity of just 16 clients, the clinic ensures an exceptional staff-to-client ratio, providing attentive, around-the-clock support in a safe and restorative environment.
Villa Consano uses a holistic approach that blends evidence-based and integrative therapies. Treatment includes individual counseling, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness practices, reiki, and physiotherapy, all tailored to each client’s unique needs. This comprehensive care seeks to uncover the root causes of distress and promote lasting recovery. When appropriate, family therapy or consultations are included to strengthen relationships and provide an added layer of support throughout the process.
The residence offers a tranquil setting surrounded by mountains, trees, flowers, and wildlife, creating an environment of calm and reflection. Clients enjoy a private outdoor pool and gourmet meals prepared by in-house chefs. Personal items such as books and laptops may be used outside of therapy hours, while phone use is limited during sessions. Structured outings, mindfulness activities, and creative practices enrich daily life, supporting both emotional healing and personal renewal.
