Professional experience
Beth Morley has worked in mental health since 2017, starting as a psychological well-being practitioner for the NHS and then working as a CBT therapist for adults with moderate to severe mental health problems in the community for the NHS.

Personal statement
Beth takes a person-centred approach to her work, using a range of CBT approaches including ACT and mindfulness. Whilst she always uses evidence-based interventions, Beth ensures to adapt these to the patient needs in front of her. Beth works collaboratively with the patient to always ensure that they both have a good understanding of their problems and what their goals are. She works with patients to support them in achieving their goals and moving towards living a life of meaning and value. Beth emphasises the importance of validating and acknowledging all the difficulties life may throw at us and equips people with the skills to respond helpfully when it does. She tries to instil confidence in her patients so that they have the skills and ability to be able to cope when things get tough and to help them overcome their difficulties and move towards the life they want for themselves.
