Who are the researchers?
This project is being carried out by a team led by Dr Gerard Riley, Clinical Psychologist and Associate Professor at the University of Birmingham, UK.
Who can take part?
What will participants be asked to do?
You would take part in about 10 therapy sessions, each lasting about an hour long. The sessions will take place weekly at the start.
The sessions would take place at a venue that is convenient for you, such as your own home or a Headway or NHS centre near your home. The team can also deliver the therapy online if you prefer.
The therapy involves a review of your life as individuals and as a couple. The team would look at who you were before the injury, and what was important to you. They would then look at what the injury changed and what has stayed the same.
You would also work on changing your day-to-day life and ways of being together as a couple – to bring them closer to what these were like before the injury.
Who to contact?
Please contact Barbara Hagger by email or letter:
OR leave your contact details on the project’s Facebook page and the team will get back to you.
The team will then arrange a meeting (online if you prefer) to explain more about the research. After this meeting, you can decide whether you want to go ahead.
Contacting the researchers does not commit you to taking part. Please be assured that the team will not put any pressure on you to take part.
The invitation to participate will remain open until October 2024
