About Us

As little as five years ago there were very few psychological professionals working in neonatal care in the UK.

We were some of the first clinical psychologists to specialise in this field, meeting with just a handful of others in small hospital rooms to share and develop good practice and community. Today we are delighted to support this number to grow, as the need for good psychological support is recognised across the country.

Together we share over 20 years' experience working in neonatal psychology, and between us,

parenting 6 boys of our own!

As Consultant Clinical Psychologists working within the NHS, we have worked together to contribute to several key national documents and practice guidelines. We continue to work on many projects to improve care for families before, during and after a neonatal stay and jointly represent Neonatology on the Perinatal Faculty of the British Psychological Society (BPS).

We are passionate about ensuring babies and their families have the right support at the right time and that staff have access to good quality, psychologically informed teaching and training that adds and complements what is currently offered within the NHS. It is this vision that has led us to this point and to developing The Neonatal Practice. 

We are excited to be here and offer a range of therapeutic interventions for babies and their families, alongside training courses and programmes for staff working within the neonatal period.

We hope that you find our services helpful and supportive and welcome you to join us.
