Dr Trish Avery

Founder of the Award-Winning AINT Model™, Trauma-Informed Therapist and Framework Creator

Dr. Trish Avery is a trauma‑informed therapist, founder of The AINT Foundation CIC, and creator of the AINT Model; a human‑centred approach to mental‑health support that challenges the limitations of traditional services. Her work has been recognised with both a Global Recognition Award and a Business Awards UK honour for innovation and impact.

Dr Avery specialises in supporting adults who fall through the gaps in the system people who are overlooked, dismissed, or told they don’t meet the “right” criteria for help. She works with those who feel they don’t fit anywhere, offering a space grounded in safety, humanity, and genuine understanding.

Her commitment to accessible, non‑judgmental support is shaped not only by her professional expertise but also by her own lived experience of mental‑health struggles. She knows what it feels like to be unseen, unheard, or misunderstood, and this fuels her dedication to creating environments where people can regulate, trust, and heal.


Through The AINT Foundation CIC, Dr Avery continues to champion a future where therapy is gentle, accessible, and shaped around the person not the system.
