Clinical / Counselling Psychologist (HCPC Registered) – Digital Therapy
WFA Digital Insight
Spectrum.Life’s digital‑therapy team is looking for a fully registered Clinical or Counselling Psychologist who can shift evidence‑based interventions into a remote environment. What makes this role stand out is the blend of high‑intensity CBT delivery with a suite of NICE‑recommended modalities—ACT, CFT, EMDR, and more—delivered via video, phone, or text. The position sits within a stepped‑care model, meaning you’ll decide treatment pathways while working with a platform that tracks outcomes and informs service improvement. Expect a strong focus on clinical governance, GDPR compliance, and regular supervision. If you thrive on adapting therapeutic practice for digital channels and enjoy contributing to tool development, this could be a distinctive fit.
