Dr Tina Griffiths
Consultant Psychiatrist/CAT Therapist

I have lived and worked in Shropshire for 25 years and am a Consultant in ‘General Adult Psychiatry’. I developed a special interest in psychological therapies and undertook a training in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) whilst a junior doctor. I am fortunate to be working exclusively within the Department of Psychological Therapies now, the equivalent of 3 days a week.

One of those days is spent working for the Eating Distress Therapy Service, using a broadly CAT approach with the clients I see and also contributing to management decisions within the team. My other days are spent training current junior doctors in psychological therapies and in supervising staff within the department who have undertaken the Practitioner Training in CAT which we ran in Shropshire some time ago. I am also running a pilot project in North Shrewsbury Community Mental Health Team, supervising team members using ideas from Cognitive Analytic Therapy, to see if staff find this a useful method of supervision.

I love living in Shropshire and enjoy cycling, hill walking and playing badminton to unwind.
