I presume you've gone through a formal research ethics process in the College? That's a very sensitive personal space you're talking about... I guess a lot of people would be reluctant to be photographed/quoted and I wonder how easy a topic you've chosen (if indeed you chose it yourself)?

Just a thought - sineadw who is a regular here is currently doing a mental health related project. See her thread here. Why not make contact with her by pm (normally doesn't bite ) and partake as a sitter or assistant and pick her brains about how to go about things while there. A bit of give and take might work really well for you both and there may be similarities in terms of the project subject matter.
