I deliver CBT-E, CBT-T, SSCM, MANTRA & EMDR at the Eating Disorders Outpatients Service at St. Ann's Hospital.

My role within the SMT was managing the specialist Long-Term Conditions care pathway and the LTC team, and providing duty supervision for complexity and risk management.

I delivered high intensity CBT to adults in IAPT, working with depression, PTSD, OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, panic disorder and generalised anxiety. I am also trained in adapting CBT for clients with long term physical health conditions.

I trained at King's College London for the High Intensity IAPT course, seeing clients with common mental health problems such as anxiety and depression at Croydon Talking Therapies.

As a senior PWP I ran service projects, managed the step 2 team, and supervised other PWPs and Assistant Psychologists.

I returned to the PWP role after travelling for 6 months, also returning to the Long Term Conditions team.

I enjoyed working with a diverse range of clients and have been trained in providing step 2 treatment for social anxiety and health anxiety in addition to the usual PWP work. Croydon IAPT is proud to increase support for people with Long Term Conditions and I am pleased to have been part of the LTC team. This means I received specialist supervision for my LTC caseload.

I provided guided self-help based CBT treatment for people experiencing anxiety and depression in GP surgery settings and I also assessed appropriate care pathways. I liaised with staff from the multi-disciplinary team and maintained relationships with other local services.

My role as patient engagement involved coordinating the local Primary Care Psychology Service (PCPS) involving patients, therapists, and treatment areas; promoting the PCPS through the GP surgeries/other service providers and ensuring routine data collection and analysis.

I have assisted a counselling psychologist with workshops in self-esteem and mindfulness for therapists and clients, including running a workshop exercise myself, and offered some administrative assistance for a conference.

I volunteered as a part time teaching assistant for key stage 1. My responsibilities included aiding children’s learning, offering children extra support, involving myself in their play, and assisting the teacher with her responsibilities.
