What I'm looking for

I seek a role delivering evidence-based low-intensity CBT within a multi-disciplinary team that values safeguarding, professional development and positive patient outcomes.

I am a dedicated Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner with extensive experience delivering low-intensity cognitive behavioural therapy within IAPT services, supporting adults, families and young people to manage anxiety and depression.

I lead ward-based care for young people with complex eating disorders in CAMHS inpatient settings, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and contributing to care plans, safeguarding and clinical reporting.

My background includes therapeutic support roles, nursery and customer-facing positions that strengthened my communication, safeguarding and organizational skills, alongside a Diploma of Higher Education in Low Intensity CBT.

I am committed to evidence-based interventions, risk assessment and multi-agency working, and I bring empathy, resilience and a strong safeguarding focus to promote recovery and positive outcomes.
