Hello, I am a trained counsellor looking to deepen my understanding of infant development from birth to 2 years of age. I am carrying out an Infant Observation course through Severnside Institute for Psychotherapy. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy as well as the British Psychoanalytic Council.
I am looking for a family in Bristol that would like to take part.
The purpose of this is for me to learn about a growing baby from birth (preferably 1 week old) up to two years.
What it involves:
A weekly visit to your home for one hour - or via Zoom due to COVID19 guidelines at that point
I would only be observing your baby
I would only be there in term times (not over half terms, 2 weeks at Christmas, 2 weeks at Easter and the whole of August)
What it does not involve:
Questioning, advice
Cleaning
Looking after your baby
*the aim is not to be intrusive at all but to merely observe
All details of the observation will be kept strictly confidential. Written material and discussion with colleagues will be anonymous and not contain any identifiable details concerning the family.
If you would like to have an initial conversation with me please let me know. TIA
