The CAMHS Getting More Help Psychology team have a strong culture of working integratively. This includes CBT, 3rd wave approaches (inc. DBT-informed practice, ACT and CFT), and systemic practice.

We believe understanding the context of the young person is fundamental to our work, and so will often need to work in ways that are theoretically very integrative to meet the needs of our heterogeneous population. Clinicians are encouraged to develop skills in a range of therapeutic approaches and to work autonomously to accommodate their interests in keeping with the needs of the client and the NICE guidelines.

You will be offered supervision in specific therapy modalities and there are opportunities to develop clinical practice in systemic work if interested. We have family therapy clinics with reflective team practice (with a team behind the screen) and would welcome and offer opportunities for consultation and development of staff systemic practice.

As a service we are actively involved in developing our current service provision. This includes establishing a more trauma-informed offer for our young people and families and developing a package of responsive interventions. This is focused on ensuring access to support in a timely manner following referral. Linked to this development, there is the opportunity to get involved in service evaluation and research projects, if this is of interest.

Our Trust and the Oxford DClinPsy training course are keen to support psychologists in obtaining their BABCP accreditation if this is something they would like to work towards. Supervision and training opportunities are available in order to support this.

Training and development are a priority, and we support clinicians who want to challenge themselves and develop their knowledge and skill base. As a Trust we would like to support training in DNV-A and CBT Trauma Focused Therapy and there are opportunities for further development in modalities such as supervision skills and EMDR.

Staff in the wider CAMHS teams are interested and proficient in a wide range of therapies and there is a good culture of skill sharing. All development opportunities will be considered through the PDR/Appraisal framework. #J-18808-Ljbffr
