This webinar brings together Combat Stress’ Principal Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR Practitioner Holly-Jane Hatcher and Principal Clinical Psychologist Dr Leanne Bannister to unpack the distinctions between PTSD and complex PTSD from a psychological perspective.

In this candid panel conversation, Combat Stress’ Head of Research Dr Dominic Murphy, Senior Occupational Therapist Samantha Reece, and a veteran who has completed the charity’s treatment will share evidence, lived experience, and practical insights into what recovery truly means.

To mark PTSD Awareness Day (27 June 2026), Combat Stress, the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health, is hosting a week‑long series of free online webinars designed to increase understanding of post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), reduce stigma, and encourage those affected to seek support.

Combat Stress is proud to announce that it has been reaccredited by the Royal College of Psychiatrists Quality Network for Veterans Mental Health Services (QNVMHS), reaffirming the charity’s long-standing commitment to delivering high‑quality, evidence‑based mental health services for former servicemen and women.
