Trauma Treatment International

What Trauma Treatment International does

Trauma Treatment International (TTI) is a UK-registered charity (No. 1175429) founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, specializing in evidence-based psychological treatment for survivors of collective violence — including torture, trafficking, slavery, hostage situations, and war — and in capacity-building support for the charities that serve them. Its core service portfolio comprises the Trauma Clinic (delivered globally online and face-to-face at a Vauxhall practice), Trauma Training programmes, Organisational Trauma-Informed Services including the proprietary Organisational Trauma Exposure Assessment (OTEA) framework, Workforce Wellbeing support, and a public Resource Hub housing the Self Assessment Toolkit and the "Navigating Everyday Challenges with Simple Steps" educational programme built on Adversity Activated Development principles. The clinical backbone is a network of specialist psychologists trained in TTI's approach, including Narrative Exposure Therapy expertise led by co-founder Dr Katy Robjant; the digital surface is intentionally minimal — a Squarespace website, a Give As You Live donation integration, and video-link therapy delivery — with no proprietary platform, mobile app, or API.

Revenue is generated through a mix of charitable donations (including a BBC Radio 4 Appeal and the All Rise/All Rise Again crowdfunding campaigns that raised over £50,000 for Afghan women), high-net-worth individual philanthropy (H&M Chairman Karl-Johan Persson since 2021), multi-year grants from UK trusts and foundations (Matrix Chambers, City Bridge Foundation, Boots Charitable Trust, National Lottery Community Fund, Postcode Society Trust), and a smaller fee-for-service stream from clinical and consultancy engagements with organizational clients such as Bellingcat, Hostage International, and Women for Refugee Women. The organization is governed by a board of trustees that includes individuals with lived experience of trauma (e.g., a Rwandan genocide survivor, a former mental health nurse of Somali heritage), and is led by CEO Sarah Cutler (appointed November 2025), who succeeded Quen Geuter after the latter grew the annual budget from £20,000 to £350,000 over a four-year tenure. Operations are run by a small core team of approximately 11 staff supplemented by an associate clinical psychologist pool that has been expanded from 5 to 15, with service delivery extending through referrals from a 40+ partner network across the UK, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

• Médecins Sans Frontières: International humanitarian medical organisation operating MHPSS programmes in conflict and refugee settings globally. Overlaps with TTI on mental health service delivery to displaced populations, but operates at much larger scale across broader humanitarian mandate.
• The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust: UK NHS foundation trust specialising in mental health, psychotherapy, and trauma services including specialist trauma treatment programmes. Comparable trauma specialisation, though embedded within the NHS system rather than charity model.
• Mind UK: Major UK mental health charity providing information, support, and advocacy across mental health conditions. Comparable as UK mental health charity serving trauma populations, though broader in scope and not trauma-specialist.

Direct peers

• War Child: International NGO focused on children affected by war and conflict, with mental health and trauma treatment programmes. Overlaps with TTI on collective violence trauma work and international delivery footprint, though differentiated by child-focused population.
