About the role
We are seeking a compassionate, skilled and enthusiastic Consultant Psychiatrist in Medical Psychotherapy to join our Devon Complex Emotional Needs (CEN) Service. The service provides specialist psychotherapeutic interventions for people with complex personality difficulties and consultation to teams across Devon. Our work is grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy, reflective practice and strong clinical governance. The CEN Service offers a range of specialist psychotherapeutic interventions including Group Analytic Psychotherapy (GAP), Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT), Family Therapy, and structured consultation to mental health teams across Devon. We work with individuals who often present with significant relational trauma, emotional dysregulation and longstanding difficulties that affect their capacity to live safely and meaningfully. Therapeutic work is delivered through carefully composed groups, structured preparatory sessions, and ongoing liaison with families and wider support systems.
