Jo values working closely as part of a multidisciplinary team (Psychologist, General Practitioner, Psychiatrists) as this is advantageous to positive outcomes for her clients. It is important to recognise that many other factors can manifest in negative eating behaviours and food beliefs and that support from medical practitioners, mental health workers, social workers and support for families is important. This additional training has helped Jo develop skills in complementary psychological tools to assist clients to make positive changes. Jo engages in regular clinical supervision and reflective self-practice to ensure that she is providing optimum care for her clients. |
