Research submissions

We are committed to researching our work with our clients so as to ensure that our approach to psychotherapy and advocacy meets the highest standards. While we have limited internal resources to conduct research, we regularly engage
with the university sector so that academics and research students in the field of sexual violence can have access to our work. We have also included key National Research which informs our work.
