The Village Clinic Team
At The Village Clinic, people are at the heart of everything we do. We believe human connection is key to psychological healing and are committed to clinical integrity, inclusivity, and professional excellence.
Founded by Veronika Kloucek, The Village Clinic team includes highly qualified senior therapists who mentor carefully selected therapists in training from leading institutes working towards accreditation. In the final stages of their training, our trainees refine their skills with cutting-edge knowledge through our distinctive placement programme.
Our clients benefit from the fresh perspective and dedication of early-career therapists, paired with the expertise and guidance of seasoned practitioners.
