My current role involves having strategic oversight of all community CAMHS services in Essex, Southend, and Thurrock, with a particular focus on LAC, YJT, crisis A&E, therapeutic home treatment services & brief admission pathway into Tier 4 with EPUT. Essex services also include the community Getting help and Getting More help teams, and specialist teams such as crisis, Eating disorders and Learning disability. My experience has included supporting and leading service restructure, ensuring budget and KPI expectations are met, and complex data analysis utilising a variety of methodology approaches including thematic reviews, and report writing. I am a registered HCPC Arts therapist in the final stages of my PhD in Psychoanalysis with Upgrade status at the UCL research department for Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology. My PhD is specifically around complex trauma in relation to childhood adversity and youth offending behaviour, and I remain linked to this field via my current employment.I deliver varied therapeutic approaches (psychodynamic/creative,CBT,DBT,EMDR,AIM, MBTF) and hold extensive experience of treating PTSD, OCD, attachment disorders, psychosis, conversion disorders, and other complex presentations. While I have a strong grounding within the psychological therapies and person centred work, I work closely with consultants, a range of mental health professions, and other agencies such as the local authority, police, voluntary sector, and acute colleagues to improve best outcomes for complex cases to develop and lead on strategic projects or work plans to support this. I’m naturally curious and analytic in my approach and my role has enabled me to develop an understanding of service wide themes, and individual team needs (including BCP). I promote and develop ideas to improve consistency of care across service via the clinical leads/operations meetings. I have delivered training on trauma at various service days/conferences and to various services such as education, police and social care. I also offer consultation and supervision to those who may be experiencing vicarious trauma in relation to their work.Additional Accredited/Certified Training:• AIM 2 (Working with children who sexually
