    In this episode, Emily Bridges, our head of content and engagement, talks to UKCP psychotherapist Gladys Ellis. 
    Working in the NHS as a mental health nurse, Gladys decided to pursue psychotherapeutic training to support young people and their families. After qualifying, she worked in an NHS CAHMS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) team, where she noticed an increase in the number of young people entering for disordered eating. This sparked her interest to learn more and specialise. Now with over 21 years of experience, she shares her learnings. 
    ‘One needs a lot of different skills and ability to support people. I would encourage people to work in generic roles before they specialise and definitely to be really aware that going into private practice when one is newly quailed can be really risky, both for themselves as clinicians, but also for the population you’d be working with.’
