Mental Health Practitioners – Sophie Oliver & Philip Elmer
- Sophie Oliver – I am a mental health Nurse who is employed by Tee’s Esk and Wear Valley mental health trust to work within GP surgeries in order to support people with their mental health in the earlier stages. As a Mental health Practitioner at the surgery I work with patients who are starting to struggle with their mental health for any number of reasons. I then work with the patient to make necessary lifestyle changes and look at resources in the local area such as counselling which may be of use to them. I also support patients with starting them on medication when this is a treatment the patient decides they want to try.
- Philip Elmer – I qualified with BSc (hons) in Adult Mental Health in 2017 from the University of Essex. I worked in Mental Health Inpatient wards, secondary mental health care in Essex before being employed by Tee’s Esk and Wear Valley Mental Heath Trust in 2024.
