Our team

“The strength of Room to Heal comes from the enthusiasm and dedication of the people involved.”

Room to Heal is staffed by a dedicated team, including BACP-accredited therapists, caseworkers, community workers, and finance and fundraising staff. We are supported by a Board which includes legal and clinical specialists, and trustees with lived experience.

Most importantly of all, our regular Community Forums give our members – survivors of torture, trafficking, and other forms of violence – a space to set Room to Heal’s agenda. We take our community seriously, and they have been at the centre of the development and delivery of our work since we were established in 2009. For example, our members suggested that we develop a Mothers’ Group – and so we established the first therapeutic and psychosocial group to support mothers who have survived torture.

Our team is more than just staff and trustees – at the heart of our team are all the survivors of torture, trafficking, and violence who join our community. Find out more here.
