We work with all forms of sexual abuse regardless of who, where, how many, and frequency and type.
Your healing journey will be unique to you within the framework that SALT uses, which is about looking at how we can equip the adult you are now, to feel able to allow the past (traumatised child) to come into your todays little by little to be healed. This is not about ‘going back’ (regression) to a powerless traumatic place, but allowing the trauma (child) to come to an equipped adult who can help them. Lots more information will be given to you at an informal appointment and/or your initial assessment, and the skills sessions will begin to fill in the gaps.
On receipt of your referral we will contact you (via the same channel you have contacted us) to ensure we are the right service for you.
You will be invited in for a formal assessment , and this assessment will take approximately one hour, covering some history (no triggering details required), the SALT process, and any questions you may have.
If it is decided together that continuing with therapy is the right and appropriate thing for you at this time, you will be offered a place on the next set of sessions.
We will now be offering an intensive therapeutic course consisting of assessment, 8 psychoeducational group sessions (maximum 10 per group), interlinked with 8 personal sessions, and up to 8 workshops to develop some of the skills and personal session content.

We are aware that an intensive 16-week therapeutic course could be demanding for some who are in a 9-5 role. We are very happy to provide a supporting letter for a named employer who needs confirmation that you are attending this course. This should help them to make reasonable
adjustment (a legal requirement) for those in full-time employment. Please note that if this is provided and you stop attending the course for any reason, we will inform the same person/department that the supporting letter was sent to. We are also aware that engaging with an intensive trauma therapy course can seem quite daunting and overwhelming, so we want to assure you that you will be started off gently, with experienced support, and information with tools to build your confidence quite quickly. The framework we use at SALT is empowering and healing in itself, and you will be surprised how quickly it starts to make sense! Obviously 16 weeks (plus 8 available workshops) won’t see all trauma resolved, but you will
see marked differences/changes and have the tools and confidence to continue. You will also have access to ad hoc support should you need it, either by email, phone, or face-to-face. Attending group skills sessions can also seem a little daunting, but again we want to reassure you that no-one is expected to share anything they don’t want to (we ensure no trauma detail is shared).
While these psychoeducational sessions are very therapeutic, it is not group therapy in the traditional sense. We will always have another team member free to support should you need or want that, and we have a lovely garden for you to take a break in at break time.
