PTSD Resolution

Charity Number: 1202649

PTSD Resolution provides free, prompt and effective mental health therapy for UK Armed Forces veterans, reservists and their families suffering from post-traumatic stress and related mental health conditions.

Founded in 2009, the charity has helped over 4,500 clients through a nationwide network of 200 qualified Human Givens therapists. Treatment typically resolves issues in an average of seven sessions at a cost of £940 per client, funded entirely through donations.

PTSD Resolution is accredited by the Royal College of Psychiatrists to the Quality Network for Veterans Mental Health Services and operates with minimal overhead – 93% of donations go directly to charitable objectives.

The charity works collaboratively with partner organisations across the veterans’ sector, with 60% of clients referred through partnerships and professional networks.

An integral part of its work is research using real world evidence to constantly improve the quality of therapy delivered by the therapist network. Results are reported in peer reviewed and published papers which demonstrate a high level of efficacy and acceptability of the service.

Our helpline is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

Support Offered

Treatment uses Human Givens Therapy, a non-invasive approach delivered through one-to-one sessions either face-to-face locally or online. This compassionate method doesn’t require clients to relive traumatic experiences, with both client and therapist agreeing when treatment is complete.

The charity uniquely supports those other services often exclude – veterans in prison (across 35 institutions), those with addiction issues, and clients with complex diagnoses. Almost half of those who call decide to have therapy with appointments available within 14 days.

PTSD Resolution’s FAITH programme specifically supports family members affected by military trauma, recognising that 17% of clients are relatives of veterans.

The charity also provides trauma awareness training for partners as well as delivering Trauma Awareness Training for Employers (TATE), helping organisations recognise and support staff experiencing trauma symptoms.

Rock2Recovery CIC

Company Number: 9422840

Rock2Recovery provides specialist intervention coaching that is non-clinical and free of charge to any member of the Armed Forces, veterans and close family members.
Rock2Recovery aims to provide this coaching within two weeks of a referral and can be provided for as long as the individual needs this support. However, clients are coached to independence.
Clients receive one session at first and then they have to ask for more. This way R2R only works with those who want to change.

Support Offered

R2R has 16 coaches nationwide and can provide both face-to-face and video coaching. Clients have direct access to their coach and R2R works at your pace. Sessions are long – typically 2 hours face-to-face and at least one hour by video.
Clients are not required to re-live trauma or any event that causes them immediate pain. Coaches will change the meaning clients are making about events in the past or what might happen in the future. If the meaning can be changed then the feeling will change.
There is no assessment as befits a non-clinical approach. If clients want help then they get help.
R2R cannot work with anyone who has a serious addiction dependency.
