You will be joining a well-established psychodynamic, tertiary level service that has been providing therapeutic services for over thirty years for people with complex and enduring emotional difficulties. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team of people providing high quality and compassionate psychological care and supporting staff in applying psychodynamic ideas to their work.
