People
Rachel Rogers - Director
Rachel is an experienced, accredited integrative practitioner and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. Her PhD is in Police Mental health (due December 2024) and her professional background spans mainstream, NHS and charitable sectors predominantly focusing on occupational trauma.
Rachel first started working with intensive approaches in 2016 within a national police treatment centre, adding trauma therapy to this in 2017. Inspired by the positive outcomes of intensive trauma treatment models in the Netherlands, Rachel undertook specialist training with one of their team and led an equivalent for CPTSD affected UK police officers within another national police charity. It was the first of its kind in the UK and the majority of attendees derived significant benefits. She presented the outcomes of this at the EMDR UK annual conference this year.
Rachel firmly supports the use of intensive trauma treatments for individuals who experience multiple high end traumas on a regular basis and this forms the bedrock of Phoenix.

Intensive trauma treatment
Our trauma therapy sessions are designed to help clients heal from the effects of traumatic events, PTSD and CPTSD. We use evidence-based treatments, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioural therapy (TF-CBT), to help clients process their trauma and develop coping skills to manage symptoms.

Intensive trauma treatment
Intensives can offer a quicker than usual recovery and have an extensive evidence base.
They are particularly suited to first responders who experience frustration at the lack of progress in weekly sessions (and inability to attend a regular slot!), are highly motivated and instead of tiptoeing around difficult material just want to get tangible results.
Intensive trauma therapy can also help where traditional therapies have not been effective previously.
Sessions can be delivered residentially, outpatient (day access) and online.
Therapy is typically twice a day over consecutive days.
Early intervention

Early intervention
Early intervention for a post traumatic or difficult event can offer protection against later PTSD.
Offering a group delivered early intervention is therefore a proactive, responsive and cost-effective way to safeguard employees. Drawing on the Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (GTEP) developed by Shapiro in 2014, Phoenix’s early intervention package has been developed specifically to the needs of first responders.
Best delivered within the first 10 weeks of an incident, attendees will be supported through their own memories of the event sensitively and whilst this is delivered to a group there is no sharing of traumatic material or need to verbalise personal material to colleagues.
This can be delivered residentially, onsite or online.
