Thank you so much for all you do!

As a psychotherapist specialising in trauma and survivor of Childhood SA - I am deeply grateful for Laura Richards’ meticulous, compassionate, and unflinching work. The Crime Analyst podcast is not just another true crime series…it is an essential resource for anyone committed to understanding the psychological underpinnings of violence, coercive control, and stalking.

Laura’s forensic expertise is unparalleled, but what truly sets her apart is the way she humanises victims…giving voice to those who were silenced, ignored, or blamed by systems that should have protected them. Her insights into the patterns of escalating abuse are profoundly important for practitioners like myself, who witness the aftermath of such dynamics in the therapy room.

This podcast is an education in the red flags that so often get missed, dismissed, or minimised. Laura weaves data, analysis, and lived realities into each case with precision and heart. For fellow professionals in mental health, criminal justice, or advocacy, this platform is a masterclass in both prevention and post-incident understanding.

Her courage in challenging outdated narratives…and her relentless pursuit of legislative change, makes her work not only insightful but VITAL.

Laura, your voice echoes in every conversation I have with clients navigating trauma. Thank YOU for leading the charge in creating safer systems, raising collective awareness, and never losing sight of the human stories behind every statistic.
