Hello! My name is Humaira and I’m a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Lead for the service. I joined the service as a Trainee Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner in 2015 and have been here working in various roles since! In my current role, I deliver CBT to a small caseload of clients experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of common mental health problems. The rest of my time is spent leading service development initiatives to improve and advance aspects of the service for our BAME clients and staff. Having a dual role means no day is ever the same and I thoroughly enjoy it! Outside of work, I love to spend time with my two nieces and nephew (all under 5!) and socialise with family and friends (preferably at a spa or over a nice meal!)
