Hello! I am looking for parents expecting in the next 3 months or have a new born less than 4 weeks, who might be interested in participating in an infant observation.


My name is Clara and I am studying a masters course in Psychotherapy and Human Development with Birkbeck University. A central part of my course is to observe an infant in their home environment from birth. The aim is for me to learn, through close attention and quiet observation, how babies develop and begin to form relationships. This will provide the foundation for my future goal of becoming a child psychotherapist. Observations would be for one hour a week at a mutually agreed time to suit you. This would last for 2 years, excluding holidays and can include breaks if needed.


Mothers who have taken part in previous observations have found this to be an enriching and rewarding experience, which encouraged them to notice details and developing abilities in their baby. Weekly visits will be unobtrusive and can provide a feeling of structure, containment and a friendly face. You can receive written feedback at the end of the observation. I am local to the area so can be flexible to suit your needs and routine.


If this is something you are interested in helping with, or think someone you know might be, then I would be more than happy to talk it through. I have a current DBS and can provide a letter from my university with further details. You can reach me at [email protected], or via this thread. Thank you for your time :-)

    • Another happy customer. Would recommend Lucasz. Good quality work and reasonable rate
    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends.
