Services for Families

I offer assessments and clinical therapeutic interventions to families which aim to enhance a parent’s capacities to meet the needs of their child at each phase of the latter’s development. These include:


·      Psychotherapeutic support during the perinatal period for future mothers and fathers, aiming to prepare them for the transition onto their parental role

·      Clinically informed methods to support a parent during the initial phases of a baby’s development, based on psychoanalytic and systemic theoretical models

·      Specialist psychotherapeutic support for families with specific clinical issues and difficulties, including depression in the perinatal period, generalised anxiety, intense worry around the developmental progress of their baby, attachment anxiety with the baby.

·      Parent-Infant psychotherapeutically informed interventions where there is a need to enhance the attachment quality between a parent and a baby/child using the psychoanalytic model of the Tavistock.

·      Mentalisation based treatment for families- application of the Anna Freud Centre model, which aims to apply psychoanalytic ideas with families to enhance the communication and limit the anxious interactions within the family and the behaviours of increased control.
