Hello everyone, back again today with a video on Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWP) aka Low intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapists (yes, both as much of a mouthful as each other). Sorry about the background noise, it's hard to find a quiet place to record with a large family!

I am currently a trainee PWP working in London.

This video includes a Q&A style section covering what I imagine to be the most common questions + extra questions asked by my Instagram followers, and then the second part is a bonus addition of a day in the life of my current job!
