Aim of this research is to explore how individuals with Complex PTSD experience therapy within NHS Talking Therapies services and identify factors that support or hinder engagement in treatment. The findings aim to inform future service development and improve support for people living with Complex PTSD.
The study is looking for participants to take part in a research study exploring people’s experiences of therapy within NHS Talking Therapies following difficult or traumatic life experiences.
Participants should expect to:

To be eligible to apply participants need to:
- Have experienced traumatic events repeatedly or over a prolonged period of time,
- Be aged 18 or over,
- Be fluent in English,
- Have completed at least two sessions of therapy through NHS Talking Therapies
(Step 3) and have been discharged.
