Exclusion Criteria

  • 3. Current (or in previous 3 months) engagement in trauma-focused therapy*
  • 4. Insufficient English to provide informed consent or complete assessments without the help of an interpreter
  • 5. Currently experiencing an acute mental health crisis
  • *(i.e., any therapy that focuses on reprocessing trauma memories; therapies such as CBTp would be operationalised as ‘trauma-informed’ rather than ‘trauma-focused’, since they may include past traumatic experiences in the developmental formulation, but would not include memory work) (added 23/11/2020)
