- This is a pilot project to investigate if archived data can be used ethically to produce fictionalised stories about the counselling process. We hope this will be the first step towards a larger engagement with the research clinic archive across the life cycle of the counselling process as well as the experiences of different client groups, so we must demonstrate that this method works and can have impact. Our goals are to develop: a method of practice that supports the ethical use of counselling archives to support community-based research; a collection of counselling stories that showcase the power of counselling in society; and a set of resources using a variety of storytelling methods that can be shared to promote a more nuanced understanding of counselling and its use as a tool for wellbeing.

- This is a standalone mechanistic study investigating the mechanisms of action in the effective treatment of severe depression using Person-Centred Experiential Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the two psychological therapies听most frequently delivered by NHS England's Talking Therapies program. We will be conducting a secondary analysis of quantitative and qualitative data (including recordings of therapy sessions) collected in the PRaCTICED trial听(ISRCTN06461651) using a mixed methods comparative case study design. We expect to find evidence that the mechanisms of action in good outcome cases in both therapies are consistent with the rationale for the specific treatment enhanced by elements common to both treatments.听
