The IAPT Worker’s Café

Who We Are

The IAPT Workers Café is a space for clinicians who work in IAPT or who have worked in IAPT in the past. 

We welcome clinicians from all clinical roles in IAPT: Low Intensity Practitioners, Counsellors, Cognitive Behavioural Therapists, Psychodynamic Therapists, psychologists and others. We welcome all levels of experience. We particularly welcome trainees or those who are newly qualified – recognising the challenges of accessing and completing training, as well as the subsequent stresses of adjusting to fully qualified roles in IAPT. 

In welcoming past workers, we acknowledge the value of connecting with those who have left their job at IAPT and in sharing their insights.

Our Values

  • Compassion
  • Anti-racism; recognising the need to sustain anti-racist practice in a structurally racist society.
  • Non-hierarchical across professions and levels of experience.
  • A Safe space
  • Confidentiality; we don’t divulge any identifying details to anyone outside our meetings
