Seeking parent-to-be for infant observation

[MillieB]

Hello, 

I am a 52-year old mother and an integrative counsellor who lives and works in West Dulwich, SE21.

In mid January I am starting a new training in Parent Infant Psychotherapy (helping parents to bond with their babies), and a key component of the course is a 24-month infant observation. 

I’m looking for someone who will be giving birth ideally in January or February and who would allow me to observe their baby for one hour a week until the baby’s second birthday. The baby can be awake or asleep, playing, feeding, eating or interacting with carer/s and family members - whatever they normally do at that time. 

The purpose of the observation is to enable me to gain a thorough knowledge of very early infant development and to develop the capacity to maintain an observationally minded and non-judgemental attitude in my work as an infant-parent psychotherapist. 

I will provide enhanced DBS clearance and I’m happy to answer any questions. 

Please forward this email to anyone who might be interested, email me at [email protected] or call me on 07949716043. I would be extremely grateful for any leads.

Many thanks, 

Millie
