I just wanted to post a recommendation for Dr. Christine Langhoff, a clinical psychologist based in Dulwich.

I developed postnatal depression after the birth of my son last year and Christine was an invaluable support in helping me to get my life back on track. Her compassion, non-judgemental attitude and genuine kindness helped me through what was an unexpectedly difficult time in my life.

I was referred to the local perinatal mental health team but felt I needed help and support sooner than this could be offered to me on the NHS. I am so grateful that I was able to see Christine privately in addition to the support I ended up getting on the NHS and it was worth every penny.

She has specialist expertise in perinatal mental health and as a mother of two herself, I felt that she understood the various challenges in my life at the time. I was able to take my baby along to all of my appointments which was also really helpful.

In summary, although I had never anticipated needing to see a psychologist for postnatal depression, I cannot recommend Christine highly enough and am so grateful for her help and support. Please PM me if you have any questions! Her contact details are on her website http://www.dulwichpsychologist.co.uk Thanks, Helen

Just to say I recently interviewed Christine in a professional capacity (writing a book on PND) and would echo everything you've said. I haven't experienced being a patient of her's but I was so impressed by her attitude and knowledge, and also her emphasis on flexibility e.g. skyping clients if they don't feel able to leave the house. Worth noting that if your work provides health insurance you may be able to cover some of the costs of private therapy. Of course, under NICE guidelines all new mothers should be prioritised if they have mental health problems but the reality doesn't always match the guidelines.

Thank you both for your kind words! I am very passionate about the work I do and it is always a pleasure when I am able to make a difference to mothers and their families.


Please note that the address for my practice is changing this weekend and I will now be based on Woodwarde Road. Full details are available on my website www.dulwichpsychologist.co.uk My contact telephone number remains the same: 07816 382810 and my E-mail: [email protected]

I just wanted to add my recommendation to those above. I saw Dr Langhoff during my pregnancy for anxiety related to the birth and worries I had about bonding with my baby and the role transition from career woman to mum. She is a wonderfully warm, supportive and thoughtful psychologist who helped me in developing better coping skills to deal with my anxiety and other concerns. I have now been a mum for five months and have enjoyed every minute.
I would also like to add my recommendation to those above! I saw Dr Langhoff after I developed post natal depression following the birth of my baby earlier this year. I thought she was great and extremely helpful - she was also happy to have my baby come along to the sessions, which was a great help given how little he was at the time. With Dr Langhoff's support, I am relieved to say that the PND passed and I am now able to fully enjoy my time with my little boy.

Thank you very much for your recommendations. Alongside PND, postnatal as well as antenatal anxiety are very common. I was recently interviewed for the Guardian about anxiety following the birth of a baby. Here is a link to the article:


http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/nov/23/perinatal-anxiety-postnatal-depression


The article also mentions Fine (Not Fine) a book written by fellow forumite Bridget Hargreave and will be published later this month.

Hi folks


Just a further recommendation for Dr Langhoff. I have seen her for 6 sessions on two separate occasions (a couple of years apart). She has been hugely important at helping me deal with PND and ongoing depression and most importantly at giving me tools to help me day-to-day. She is very welcoming and easy to deal with and very flexible about dates/times/how often you need to see her.

Her CBT-based approach worked very well for me, being both practical but also exploring underlying problems and feelings. I wholeheartedly recommend her. I'm so glad I made the decision to see her. It was an important investment in my health.

    • I would like to understand this promise by the Greens in greater detail and how it applies locally? Presumably road/pavement upkeep and renewal is as important for cyclists and pedestrians as motorists? I am not aware of plans to build new roads locally but there has been plenty of money spent on converting roads into pedestrian only areas. On the face of it this feels a slightly empty statement, when applied at local level. I'd love to know the Greens stance in hiring out parks for private use (given impact on park environment), I'd also like to understand their stance on fireworks- I will look to see if I can find anything. I don't know if a manifesto exists under the documents section of Southwark Greens, but you can only access that bit by signing in- which is disappointing. If anyone has a manifesto that reflects local priorities- could they post a link?
    • You are most likely correct in thinking that  Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew it.  But they obviously thought that his skills, abilities and usefulness far outweighed the negatives. Here is a summary of the positives lifted from elsewhere:-   1. Strategic Architect: He was a primary architect of "New Labour," rebranding the party and shifting its core ideology to win the 1997 general election. 2 Master of Communication: Often called the original "spin doctor," he revolutionised how political parties manage the media. He famously created the "grid" system to coordinate government messaging. 3 Networking and Charm: Known as "Silvertongue," he possesses a peerless ability to charm and network with high-level global figures, including business leaders and heads of state. 4. Governance and Trade Expertise: Beyond strategy, he was considered a highly efficient minister, serving as European Commissioner for Trade and Secretary of State across multiple departments, including Business and Northern Ireland.  5. Reinvention: His capacity to adapt to changing political climates and rebuild relationships reflects personal resilience and strategic flexibility. With his skill and abilities, he delivered results for all his bosses. In the short time in Washington, he found a way to get on the right side of Trump - despite him  being critical of Trump in previous years. That said he is complex personality.  He can be simultaneously brilliant and arrogant, thick-skinned yet sensitive, and selfless for his party while appearing narcissistic in his personal dealings.  My OP asked if he would be accepted over the pond. It turned out he was because he got on famously with trump. He worked out the correct strategy to get on the good side of Trump and secured a better trade deal than the EU and other nations.    
    • Malumbu, do you happen to know what the current figure is for "trips into town made by walking, cycling and public transport"? 
    • Before voting, do you not think it's logical to evaluate each party on its policies and make a tally of the reasons "For" and "Against" voting for each party.
