WHO WE ARE
Assessment and Training Associates (ATA) is a psychology-led service offering assessments and support to families. We aim to deliver high-quality, informative pieces of work which all parties have had the opportunity to contribute to in a meaningful way.
We appreciate that by the time families have been referred to us, they have likely experienced significant stress and upheaval. Our aim is to help families feel seen, heard, and respected throughout our time working with them.
