Key elements to assessment in LICBT services:

 Developing a shared understanding of the problems that have brought someone to the assessment, rooted in their own personal experiences.

 Developing an understanding of how those problems might be resolved

 Agreeing an initial plan to begin resolving those problems.

Some people may arrive at assessment with a clear sense of their problems whereas others may not be able to describe them, be unsure how they have developed or are maintained and become worried that things cannot change. To support people who come to psychological therapy services develop an understanding of their problems that they find useful, LICBT practitioners need to draw on the knowledge and experience they gained through training. This may pertain to the nature of problem presentations, the course of such problems and evidence on the effectiveness of interventions. With this knowledge and experience, LICBT practitioners may reach a probable diagnosis with their patient that can be reviewed after further assessment or treatment.
