Dr Julia Bird
Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
General information:
Dr Bird joined the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Team in 2013, providing support to families who have a child on the unit. She also provides general psychological services to adults and families across the hospital.
General areas of expertise:
- Supporting individuals and families, commonly through a ‘talking’ therapy.
Particular areas of expertise:
Dr Bird has a particular interest in attachment, trauma and the ways in which the ‘social’ impacts on psychological health.
