Trainee Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (TPWPs) use Guided Self Help interventions based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people look at how thoughts or beliefs can impact emotions, physical sensations and behaviour in a way that may be contributing to, or maintaining distress.
Our Trainees manage a caseload of clients, complete assessments, attend an NHS-funded Postgraduate Certificate course at University (depending on the service) and learn evidence-based techniques for treating clients.
I love the variety and the flexibility within the role. I’m able to deliver group work as well as treat clients in a one-to-one setting. I love that it’s different every day. Ben Deacon, Senior CBT Therapist, East Kent
