INTEGRATED THERAPIES
At Phoenix we have our own multi-professional Integrated Therapies Team (ITT) which includes Counselling, Forensic and Educational Psychology, Speech and Language Therapy, Counselling, Occupational Therapy and Creative Arts Psychotherapies.
We are passionate about improving the quality of life and outcomes for the people we support. We advise, guide and support the teams and managers that work around the people we support to ensure that the relationships and environment they are in is therapeutic. The team do this by providing assessments, training, advice, support, consultation, and reflective practice. We respect each child, young person and adult as an individual. We get to know them so that we can really understand their needs and how they feel about themselves, others, and life.

Clinical, Counselling and Forensic Psychology

Art Therapy
Our Art Therapists provide help with self-expression, offering a playful approach to building relationships, developing play skills and expressing deeper feelings when words are not easy to access, or are not enough.

Music Therapy
Music therapy is a clinical intervention that uses music to achieve non-musical goals. Music therapists work with clients of all ages and abilities. The important part of the process is the therapeutic relationship that is established between the individual and the therapist through an engagement in a live musical interaction.
Drama Therapy
The focus of drama therapy is on intentional healing through the therapeutic relationship between the individual and the therapist in which the therapist is able to support the individual in facilitating social, emotional and psychological change. Within drama therapy all aspects of the performance arts are utilised as a therapeutic process. It is a method of working and playing that uses action methods to facilitate creativity, imagination, learning, insight and growth.

Sensory Integration
SI describes processes in the brain that allow us to take information we receive from our senses, organise it, and respond appropriately. Sensory Integration trained Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Physiotherapists are trained to develop a detailed understanding of the neuroscience and evidence base underpinning sensory integration as well as developing expertise in assessing and providing intervention for people with sensory integration problems.
Counselling
Our Counselling service offers a collaborative space for people to explore their difficulties in a safe and confidential setting. Drawing upon on a number of theoretical models our integrative counsellors are able to offer support for people who are struggling with a wide range of difficulties including bereavement, depression, anxiety and trauma.

Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy (OT) supports people to 'live life their way' after illness, injury or when a person finds it challenging to engage in the things they want or need to do in their lives. This could be accessing college, forming relationships with others facilitating physical participation, daily living, self care and leisure.

Animal Therapy
Animal-assisted therapy involves interacting with animals as well as a therapist to help people work towards their defined goals within the therapy space, for example, utilising a therapy dog to perform actions which help someone to learn more about wh-concepts or action words in Speech and Language Therapy or to explore their feelings and experiences in a different way during a psychologically informed session.
Animal Companionship
Animal companionship is slightly different in that in these spaces the animal acts as a companion to a person who may otherwise be finding it difficult to engage with the school or college environment.
