The following is a composite example, based on common experiences, not any one individual.
"David" had a knock at the door early one morning. The police interview, the bail conditions, the wait for a charging decision, it was the most frightening period of his life, and he didn't know who he could talk to about it. His solicitor handled the legal case, but there was nowhere for the fear and shame underneath it to go. Through therapy, he began to understand how things had reached that point, and built a genuine, documented engagement that his solicitor was later able to draw on for mitigation. Whatever the outcome of his case, he wasn't facing it in silence.
