An intensive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) retreat program for depression and anxiety and a range of mental health issues.

Depression & Anxiety Retreats is an intensive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) retreat program based in Bali and Cyprus. Therapy is provided by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Jeremy Alford, PhD who has over 25 years experience treating a range of mood and anxiety disorders. Our retreats are intensive, offering 2 hours each day of 1:1 CBT with Dr. Jeremy.

Daily personalized yoga and meditation sessions serve as the perfect adjunct to the intensive CBT you will be doing. Both are proven to help improve mood and will serve to calm your mind throughout your retreat.

We offer an upfront free-of-charge online meeting with Dr. Jeremy so you can meet and discuss the issues you are currently facing. There is no obligation to come along to our retreat program after speaking with Dr. Jeremy.

Whether you have had therapy before or are thinking of starting for the first time, our retreats are personalized and focused, specific to your own needs. You are able to do a course of therapy over days rather than months. We see only one client at a time at our retreats and we generally recommend a minimum stay of ten days (which provides 20 hours of CBT over the period).

On average our clients achieve a 90% reduction in levels of depression and anxiety after just 20 hours of CBT

Testimonials

The DAR program was just fantastic and I feel like a new man. Bali was amazing and the sessions really did wonders for me. I have been recommending it to a few of my friends who are burnt out and would benefit from a break and some therapy. Unfortunately it's still taboo to talk about stuff like that even though I feel free. Thank you for the help you have given me and the tools you taught me — stress is a totally different thing now.

Now that I'm back home, I have to say that my programme at DAR was transforming experience. Jeremy was fantastic and the host resort is just the most beautiful location - with amazing food, relaxing surroundings and lovely staff. It was the perfect setting for healing the soul! The retreat was most certainly a success and I have the tools and new habits now to bring back into my daily life.

A special big thank you to Dr Jeremy who literally saved my life. I was going down a dark path and I am so lucky to have a good friend who suggested I go on this retreat at the end of the world. It was worth every penny. Bali is incredibly beautiful and serene and quiet which is exactly what I needed. I cannot say thank you enough. I am now free from my own mind. I am relieved and endeavour to use my time and energy for a higher purpose, ME.

Our retreats are extremely flexible and bespoke programmes can be developed according to individual needs

Psychotherapy in paradise

Why are Depression & Anxiety Retreats so effective?

Though we utilize clinically tested methods of treatment and highly experienced clinicians, the environment is unlike any clinical experience you may have had. Our host resorts offer a safe, contained environment — a place where you can feel secure and cared for.

Our Retreats are intensive, healing holidays – the complete antithesis of the clinical, in–patient experience.
