Counselling & Therapy at Holina Village

At Holina Youth Village, we offer a range of counselling and therapy services designed to support teens and young adults struggling with addiction, mental health issues, and trauma. Our individual therapy sessions are complemented by group therapy and family counselling, ensuring that every resident receives comprehensive emotional support throughout their journey. Located in Cyprus, we also provide English-speaking therapy services for clients from Europe and beyond.

Our counselling and therapy programs focus on the emotional well-being of each individual, helping them navigate challenges such as teen depression, substance abuse, anxiety, and past trauma. We integrate therapeutic community principles, where peer support, personal accountability, and emotional healing are at the core of the treatment process.

The Importance of Counselling & Therapy in Recovery:

Healing the Whole Person:

At Holina Youth Village, we understand that addiction and mental health struggles affect every part of a person’s life. Our counselling services address not only the addiction or mental health issue but also the emotional wounds that may have been caused by trauma, stress, and family conflict. Through therapy, teens and young adults learn to identify, understand, and process their emotions, allowing them to develop healthy coping strategies for the future.

Comprehensive Emotional Healing:

We offer a holistic approach to teen therapy, which includes individual sessions, group therapy, and family counselling. Each type of therapy plays a significant role in ensuring that emotional healing occurs on every level. Teens and young adults have the chance to explore their inner world through personal reflection, gain strength from others through group support, and rebuild broken family dynamics through family therapy.

UCLan Cyprus and Holina Cyprus.

Memorandum of Understanding

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between UCLan Cyprus and Holina Cyprus on the 25th of October 2022 at the premises of the British University of Cyprus. The purpose of the Memorandum is to provide a framework of collaboration between UCLan Cyprus and Holina Cyprus, in areas of teaching, research, science, innovation and applied experience, aiming to support the well-being of Holina Cyprus’s residents, to foster, as well as develop employability skills for youth and young adults who deal with behavioural health issues.

Holina Cyprus serves as a young person’s community, offering its residents a holistic mental and spiritual support system for youth and young adults to feel safe and trusted and thus overcome behavioural health issues of various forms. With the support of a team of psychologists and psychotherapists who are among the best in the world, Holina Youth Village creates a life-changing programme, which offers an innovative approach to the healing process by incorporating educational and teaching objectives. UCLan Cyprus, with its unique blend of academic and practical experience, as well as its unparallel commitment to initiatives which promote the health and well-being of youth, will develop an innovative educational programme on various courses which present a special interest to Holina Village Youth residents.

Types of Therapy Offered:

Individual Therapy:

Our individual therapy sessions are a cornerstone of Holina Youth Village’s rehabilitation process. Led by experienced therapists, these sessions provide a safe, confidential space for teens and young adults to explore their emotions, understand their challenges, and set goals for their recovery. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy are just a few of the therapeutic methods used in these one-on-one sessions.

Group Therapy:

Group therapy offers residents the opportunity to connect with others who are facing similar challenges. At Holina Youth Village, group therapy is designed to encourage peer support, shared learning, and mutual healing. Teens and young adults learn how to communicate openly, express themselves without fear of judgment, and develop trust and accountability in a therapeutic community.

Family Therapy:

We believe that family support is a critical component of successful addiction recovery and mental health treatment. Our family therapy programs help families rebuild trust, improve communication, and address any underlying issues that may be contributing to the teen’s challenges. At Holina Youth Village, we work closely with families to ensure they are equipped to support their loved one during and after the rehabilitation process.

Personalized Treatment Plans:

Every resident at Holina Youth Village receives a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to their specific needs and goals. We understand that every teen or young adult’s journey to recovery is unique, which is why our therapy programs are flexible and individualized. This ensures that every person receives the best possible care for their addiction or mental health struggle.

Support Through Every Step of Recovery:

Our counselling and therapy services provide continuous support for teens and young adults throughout their recovery. From the beginning of treatment to aftercare and beyond, our therapists are here to help guide individuals through their healing process. We offer ongoing counseling and check-ins to ensure long-term success and emotional well-being.

Therapeutic Community Integration:

At Holina Youth Village, the therapeutic community model is woven into every aspect of counselling and therapy. Residents are encouraged to support each other, share their experiences, and hold each other accountable. The strength of the community lies in its members, and together, they help one another overcome obstacles, celebrate victories, and heal emotionally.

Holina Cyprus Care Center FAQ’s

If you are experiencing challenges or struggles in your life that are giving you uncomfortable consequences – for example, failing at school, getting arrested, hurting your friends or losing them, experiencing strong anxiety, self-harming, cutting yourself off from people and hiding, etc, then Holina Village would make a great place for you to transform yourself from unnecessary pain or discomfort and discover joy and vitality back into your life.

Holina Village is focused on emotional and behavioural health, including addictions, self-harming, anti-social behaviours, stress, diminished motivation, isolation,
insecurity, anxiety and other challenges socially awkward feelings or attitudes.

Our minimum commitment is 4 weeks, though realistically this is rarely enough time to bring about long-lasting change. Therefore we strongly suggest 6 to 12 months, particularly if they want to engage in the educational opportunities our partners UCLAN (University of Central Lancashire) offer us. Whilst our minimum commitment is 4 weeks, many, probably most of our residents stay around 3 to 6 months.

We are a fully immersed residential experience, with a minimum of one-month commitment, though most residents stay for 3 or more months, often 6 months or even longer.

No one is allowed to visit unscheduled without an appointment, though family members are encouraged to come and visit on weekends, in the second month onwards.

It is important to us that we protect the sanctity of the Holina Village space and keep them safe. We are not a daycare facility or outpatient service. We only serve those people looking for a fully immersive experience.

We encourage parents and adult family members to come and visit from the 2 nd month onwards at weekends. We offer Family Therapy during these visits (held over weekends) in both group and private settings. We understand that sometimes the whole family needs to heal, and we believe these therapeutically supported family sessions will help the greater family. Furthermore, we know that your success is significantly improved when family members are engaged in their loved one’s recovery.

Yes, you may, if you are above the legal age to smoke. Whilst we’d love to encourage you to quit whilst you’re with us, we acknowledge that many people do smoke. There is a dedicated smoking area.

Cyprus is a pleasant climate all year round. Certainly plenty of blue skies. It’s the warmest part of Europe during the Winter months. Cyprus enjoys an intense Mediterranean climate, with long dry summers from mid–May to mid–October, and mild winters from December to February, which is separated by short autumn and spring seasons.

August is the hottest month in Paphos with an average temperature of 26°C (79°F) and the coldest is January at 13°C (55°F) with the most daily sunshine hours at 13 in July. The wettest month is December with an average of 93.9mm of rain.

Pack as if you were coming on an adventure holiday to an island with plenty of land and sea-based activities. Dress casually and comfortably. It’s not a fashion parade but a small village of like-minded friends all hanging out together.

Bring activewear for workouts and other fitness activities including swimming, sports shoes, and light wear for yoga. We do physical activities almost every day, so bring a few pairs to allow for laundry times.
We have a safe to keep your valuables in, but expensive jewellery and other luxury items are unnecessary.

Toiletries: Please bring your toiletries and hygiene products, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, shaving materials, basic makeup, hairbrush, etc. Anything you forget we can purchase from local shops.

Medications: You are allowed to continue using your doctor-prescribed medications whilst with us, but please do bring proof of your prescription. Please keep all your pills in the original packaging so that they are considered authorized narcotics.

Kindly do not bring the following:

Alcohol or drugs: It might seem self-explanatory, but some clients may try to sneak in a last-minute hit, fix, pill, can, bottle, etc. Your bags and belongings will be searched when you arrive at Holina.

Alcohol or drug paraphernalia: This includes anything that advertises or glorifies the use of alcohol or drugs. This should also include items that display support for criminal acts including terrorism, sex, gambling, or other negatively perceived notions that could upset other residents.

Weapons: There is no need to bring any knives or weapons with you to Cyprus or treatment. They will be confiscated and destroyed.

Toiletries that contain alcohol: Leave any alcohol-based products at home, such as certain mouthwashes, nail polish removers, perfumes, and aerosols.

We cater to all dietary requirements, though we request that you inform us in advance so we can prepare. You can advise us of any of your specific dietary needs and we can manage them. We’re used to having people with all types of needs.

Our prices are all-inclusive and agreed upon based on your length of stay. Minimum stay in one month is €15,000, 3 months is €40,000 and 6 months is €70,000

We don’t have any hidden costs, though there are some costs that you should be aware of. Things that are not covered include:

We ask you to pay for anything non-detox or mental health-related, including your medications.

We also ask that you have travel or medical insurance in place before you come to us. This is really for any non-detox or psychiatric-related problems, like if you fall over and break your arm or some other uncalculated trip to accident and emergency.

We don’t pay for your flights to and from Larnaca Airport (LCA), but we will meet and greet you at the airport on arrival. We can also chaperone you door to door-from your home at an extra charge (calculated based on the distance/complexity).

Typically, our clients spend between €50 and €100 per month on personal items, such as snacks, sodas, cigarettes, some toiletries, etc, but it’s not necessary to spend any more.

At this time, residents of most countries around the world can come to Cyprus and achieve a visa upon entry. We will advise you on this process. It’s very straight forwards.
If you extend your treatment and need a longer visa then we will swallow this cost for you.
