Dear Hiring Manager,
Turning Point's reputation as one of England's largest not-for-profit substance use providers, combined with the clinical leadership scope of the PSI Lead CBT Therapist post in Hammersmith & Fulham, makes this role a natural next step for me. I hold a Masters Level qualification in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and maintain current BABCP accreditation, with direct experience delivering individual and group CBT interventions within Health & Social Care settings alongside co-occurring substance use presentations.
My background in clinical CBT practice includes supervising a team of four therapists in the delivery of structured CBT programmes, using outcome measures including PHQ-9 and AUDIT to analyse treatment effectiveness and drive service improvement. I have contributed to multiagency case consultations, bringing psychologically informed perspectives to complex dual-diagnosis cases, and have collaborated with senior clinical leads to identify and address gaps in psycho-social provision.
