Evidence-based treatment and therapeutic support
-
EMDR is a globally recognised, evidence-based psychotherapy shown to be highly effective in treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression. Unlike traditional talk therapies, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (e.g. guided eye movements) to help people process distressing memories without needing to relive them in detail. EMDR is endorsed as a first-line treatment for trauma by international and national health bodies, including the World Health Organization and the UK Department of Health and Social Care.
-
At Kenward House, residents have access to specialist psychiatric support from Dr Annie McCloud, Consultant Addictions Psychiatrist, over 30 years' experience in psychiatry, including 24 years as a consultant and lecturer, Dr McCloud brings extensive expertise in addiction, mental health, and recovery.
Dr McCloud supports residents through pre- and post-admission assessments, regular psychiatric reviews, liaison with GPs and external agencies, and participation in multi-agency meetings to ensure coordinated, person-centred care. Her holistic approach helps individuals with addiction and complex needs access the support required to engage fully in recovery and overcome barriers to lasting change.
This specialist input is a key part of our commitment to providing high-quality, trauma-informed care tailored to the unique needs of each resident.
-
Our Therapeutic Gardens & Workshops (TGW) programme is a unique and valued part of the recovery journey at Kenward House and has been independently rated "Excellent" by CQC. Through activities such as gardening, pottery, art, woodwork, and animal interaction, residents take part in meaningful, hands-on experiences that support both wellbeing and personal development.
As a form of occupational therapy, TGW helps residents build confidence, develop practical and social skills, improve physical and emotional wellbeing, and establish positive routines. Working together on creative and outdoor projects also fosters a strong sense of community, reducing isolation and encouraging connection with others in recovery.
By combining creativity, nature, and purposeful activity, TGW supports the holistic approach to recovery that is at the heart of the Kenward House programme, helping residents develop the skills, confidence, and resilience needed for long-term recovery.
