Psychotherapy for nurses and health professional – The importance of experience
I am Jaime, the lead clinitian and director of The Online Therapy
Clinic – Registered Mental Health Nurse with experience in Mental Health Units
and in a community setting as well as I have General Medicine Experience.
Having worked for the NHS since 2004, in 2021 I decided to become an
independent psychotherapist. Since then, I have used my personal experience
from working in NHS to deliver bespoke and tailor-made interventions to nurses
and doctors, both still in training and fully qualified.
What are the benefits for hospital staff?
Unfortunately, nursing staff in the UK are under such immense pressure
that many feel they cannot provide the level of care they would like to their
patients. What’s more, their pay is not appropriate for the level of
responsibility and stress they must face at work, while also suffering physical
abuse from patients or relatives. Hugely shocking facts. However, mental
health, counselling and psychotherapy for nurses and health professional can be
immensely beneficial. Most importantly, feeling understood, heard, and having
shared experience allow nurses and hospital staff to cope and heal in a safe
manner. It is especially important for nurses and hospital staff to learn how
to deal with incidents of violence and aggression.
What
support do I provide?
I
am fully trained, qualified, and experienced in delivering Trauma Therapy and
EMDR for nurses, doctors, Occupational Therapists and other health
professionals. What’s more, there are huge benefits of having CBT sessions for
work stress and performance anxiety. I can help you to work on reclaiming your
private life as well as managing to implement work-life balance.
We
can work together to learn how saying NO to request, delegating and accepting changes,
can help you to relieve the pressure of work and day-to-day doings. What’s
more, I can support anyone through any additional training and changing periods
in their lives.
Are
you looking for reflective session that is also a good way to work on the
impact of the work load. You can read here.
What
about for trainees?
As
a doctor or a nurse still in training and constantly “rotating” you are
essentially changing your job three to four times a year. What’s more, this new
job can be even in a different town or city. I know how stressful it can be.
This in turn affects your performance and work-life balance. Plus, it just does
not stop with that – you also must complete your portfolio work, learn new
skills and prepare for and pass exams.
So
YES! You definitely can benefit from mental health specialist support for
health care workers in training and frontline staff.
