ARE YOU A PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST WHO HAS WORKED WITH CLIENTS AT RISK OF SUICIDE? PARTICIPANTS NEEDED.

CAN I TAKE PART?

If you are…

• A qualified psychological therapist (e.g. psychologist, counsellor, CBT therapist, psychotherapist)
• Accredited by a professional body (e.g. HCPC, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ, BABCP)
• Based in the UK

And you have worked therapeutically with one or more clients you deemed to be at risk of suicide, we would like to hear from you.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH?

The study aims to develop a clearer understanding of what support, training, and supervision psychological therapists need, when they are working with clients who they deem to be at risk of suicide.

WHY PARTICIPATE?

It is hoped the findings will initiate conversations about how appropriate training, support, and supervisory structures can be implemented to better support therapists and contribute to the development of clinical guidelines.

WHAT IS INVOLVED?

The study involves completing two questionnaires, several months apart. You will be asked to draw upon your knowledge, expertise, and clinical experiences of working with suicidal clients to rate the importance of the statements in each questionnaire. This will help us to reach a consensus on key support, training, and clinical supervision needs.
