I also have experience of working on block trainings. In the NHS I am Consultant Group Analyst at North London Foundation Trust where I head up a thriving group therapy training placement, and a Perinatal Psychotherapist for North East London Foundation Trust where I offer parent-infant therapy, and have adapted group analytic thinking to develop groups with mothers and babies as equal group members.
