As a service, we aim to deliver a range of evidence-based psychological interventions to people with common mental health problems within a stepped care model. Wandsworth Talking Therapies is professionally managed by a consultant Clinical Psychologist and operationally managed by a service manager. The team consists of qualified Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, CBT Therapists and Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWPs) who provide evidence-based psychological interventions in line with NICE guidance.

You will offer triage assessments and low intensity interventions to people with common mental health problems (depression and anxiety disorders). You will provide brief telephone-based triage assessments as well as NICE-supported low intensity treatments such as guided self-help and CBT-based psycho-educational courses. You will receive regular clinical supervision from either a Senior PWP or clinical/counselling psychologist/CBT therapist working within the service.
You will be based at our office in Tooting Broadway with opportunities to work remotely from home as well offering a combination of face to face, telephone and digital online web camera-based programmes. The service offers evening appointments, so flexible working is required.
