We are looking for a full-time Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for
Depression (PCE-CfD) trainee therapist or an experienced counsellor already trained in person-centred or humanistic approaches wishing to undertake further training in PCE-CfD. Buckinghamshire Healthy Minds is nationally recognised as a high performing Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service. We are an exciting, innovative and diverse service to work for.
Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD) is an evidence based form of person-centred psychological therapy for the treatment of depression, which is NICE approved for use at High Intensity.
PCE-CfD targets the emotions underlying depression along with the intrapersonal processes, such as low self-esteem and excessive self-criticism, which often maintain depressed mood. It aims to help clients contact underlying feelings, make sense of them and reflect on the new meanings which emerge.
If not already trained in PCE-CfD, we are looking for someone who has a professional mental health qualification (e.g. clinical and counselling psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists), and at least two years post qualification experience of providing brief counselling for people with mental health problems. You will be accredited or registered with a professional or regulatory body (e.g. BACP, HCPC, BPS, RCN) and
willing to undertake further PCE-CfD training
- If not already qualified in Person-centred Experiential Counselling for Depression, to attend practitioner training programme and successfully complete all the course and accreditation requirements.
- Provide a high quality specialist Person-centred Experiential Counselling for Depression service to people with common mental health difficulties served by the Healthy Minds service.
- Provide specialist psychological and mental health assessment and intervention and offer advice, consultation and supervision on clients’ psychological care to non-psychological therapy colleagues and to other, non professional carers. Facilitate access to counselling and specialist mental health services when needed.
- Work autonomously within professional guidelines and the overall framework of the Healthy Minds’ policies and procedures.
- There may be opportunities to utilise research skills for audit, policy and service development and research across the service.

As a leading teaching, training and research Trust, we have close links to Oxford and Oxford Brookes, Buckinghamshire, Reading and Bath universities. We are part of the Oxford Academic Health Science Centre, working closely with our university colleagues to translate their findings into clinical care as quickly as possible, enabling people using our services to benefit from the latest advances in healthcare.

In everything we do, we strive to be caring, safe and excellent. We expect our staff to share and demonstrate these values as we work to constantly improve the quality of care we provide. This ensures that we have the right workforce to deliver effective team-working and excellent patient care and experience.

Benefits of working for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust include:

- Excellent opportunities for career progression
- 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, with an increase to 33 days with continuous service
- NHS Discount across a wide range of shops, restaurants and retailers
- Staff accommodation
- Competitive pension scheme
- Lease car scheme
- Cycle to work scheme

This is an excellent opportunity to join Oxford Health, a large and innovative NHS Foundation trust, which has a strong track record for supporting the development of psychological therapy services. The Trust has two IAPT services, a range of specialist psychological therapy services and employs over 300 psychological therapists. Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust (OHFT) provides physical, mental health and social care for people of all ages across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath and North East Somerset. Our services are delivered at community bases, hospitals, clinics and people’s homes. We focus on delivering care as close to home as possible.

Working as part of an IAPT service within Primary Care, to provide services within a range of settings including GP Practices, Community venues and on the rare occasion, in clients’ homes. Clients will be seen individually, in group settings and offering treatment remotely (via Microsoft Teams or telephone). The post holder will be required to travel around Buckinghamshire to see clients, although the office base will be in either High Wycombe or Aylesbury, where they will have support from service administrators.

Work involves frequent and unavoidable sitting in constrained positions, with sustained, intense concentration for long periods of time, e.g. complex psychological assessments, individual, family and group therapeutic interventions (typically for periods of 2 or more hours at a time).
