Jane Letham is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist at Kensington and Chelsea CAMHS and Lead for Child Clinical Psychology in CNWL.

Jane has been working in CAMHS for almost 40 years, she said:

“I’ve stuck with it because of the work, the location and the way the Trust has developed."

“Within CAMHS in this Trust you can get a lot of training, in particular introductions to particular therapies modalities and skills learning.”

“People who come into the Trust, whatever their profession can feel they can diversify.”

Janes’s story forms part of There’s a place for you, a series of films from our CAMHS service.

The series, produced by And Productions, was created with our staff, showing the working and clinical experiences of child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS).

CAMHS is made up of a team of professionals with different skills and backgrounds who work together to provide a range of specialist support to young people and their families, helping with their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

In these films, team members from across the service reveal the day-to-day realities of their roles in mental health, highlighting how rewarding their work is, and why they are so passionate about working with young people.

We hope this can help raise awareness of the opportunities a career within CAMHS can offer.
