Who is in the team?
Hello! Nice to meet you.
Below you can get to know a bit about each member of our team. We support children seen at both Derriford and the Child Development Centre. We tend to see our Children and Young People at the Child Development Centre, Online or out in the community for example in Family Hubs. We also often have Trainee Clinical Psychologists and Trainee Children Wellbeing Practitioners working with us too so you may get to meet and work with one of them during your time with us if you are happy to do so.
