Research study exploring psychotherapists’ work with complex trauma.

My name is Gerry Meehan and I am researching senior therapists’ experience of working with complex trauma, as part of my Doctorate in Psychotherapy at DCU.

I am looking for participants who:

  • have 5 or more years of working with complex trauma
  • have complex traumatic presentations as part of their typical caseload
  • are accredited psychotherapists
  • would be willing to share their experiences of working with complex trauma in an interview lasting 45 – 60 minutes approx.

Your experience is important to me and in particular, I want to hear about the following:

  • your first-hand understandings as senior clinicians of the positive and/or negative aspects of working with complex trauma
  • your insights into what has been helpful and unhelpful in working within this specialised area
  • if and how working with complex trauma has influenced you personally and professionally

If you’re willing to take part in a 45 – 60 minute interview either in person or by Zoom, I would be delighted to hear from you.

This video gives a brief summary of the study.

For further information please contact Gerry Meehan, Doctorate in Psychotherapy candidate
