We are looking to recruit Trainee High Intensity Therapists to join this vibrant team of highly experienced practitioners delivering a NHS Primary Care Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) contract across Surrey for the 2023-2024 cohort starting in September 2023.

Our mental health support service provides high intensity cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to our clients and as a trainee high-intensity therapist, you will complete a programme of training to support your learning and development in this field of therapy.

You will work with people from a whole range of cultural backgrounds and ages, and your particular focus will be those with complex anxiety and depression related problems where CBT has shown to be a particularly effective treatment.
