Dr Rachel Kemp and Dr Hayley Poole, our wonderful founders of The Purple House Clinic Rugby, recently celebrated their clinic’s second anniversary. Founded in May 2021 the clinic has experienced remarkable growth in response to the local community’s demand for specialised mental health support services.
Rachel stated, “Our primary objective is to provide the highest quality psychological healthcare. We just knew that offering a safe, comfortable and specialist space was the right thing to do. The Purple House Clinic is designed to be a welcoming place for everyone – from homely décor to having our skilled staff and clinicians onsite and accessible. The last two years have proved that our gut instincts were correct!”
Initially, the team consisted of only Rachel and Hayley, but they have now expanded to include two administrators and 15 specialist associate clinicians at the clinic. Offering an impressive 150 appointments each month to clients, they constantly seek to enlarge their team to meet the ever-growing demand for their services
Before establishing The Purple House Clinic Rugby, both Rachel and Hayley worked in the National Health Service (NHS). As time went on, they became increasingly frustrated, feeling constrained by limited resources and a rigid structure, which restricted the support they could offer their clients. The two friends were confident that expanding their own skills and scope to assist others was the way forward.
