Stalking and the Psychological Impacts

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust runs the National Stalking Helpline who offer a specialist psychological advocacy service because stalking causes a variety of psychological impacts. A stalking victim will often have mixed feelings about stalking and even the person that is stalking them, and these feelings change over time. Many people who are stalked demonstrate signs of post-traumatic stress and they may begin to feel that their emotions and behaviour are changing impacting their day to day life. But those who experience stalking are not alone. The National Stalking Helpline provides practical advice and information as well as sessions with stalking specialist psychological advocate.
