Our aim is to walk alongside the individual
and work with him or her through the trauma
and on to recovery
ASSIST therapists always work with evidence-based therapeutic models, proven to be helpful in treating psychological trauma, that is trauma-focussed CBT and EMDR. However we recognise that every client who visits our service is an individual.

Many people think of CBT as an impersonal, directive and often very brief therapy. We like to think of the ASSIST model as Person-Centred CBT, the combination of a therapeutic model that has been shown to work and respect and understanding for people as human-beings.
