Carrie Bartlett
I have worked with children and their families for over twenty years, in both the UK and abroad, across private and charitable settings. I trained in Child Psychology at the University of East London, graduating with First Class Honours, and completed postgraduate clinical MSc training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents at Birkbeck, University of London.
My clinical work focuses on understanding the emotional and relational context of a child or young person’s difficulties, rather than viewing behaviours in isolation. I am particularly interested in how early experiences, attachment relationships, and developmental factors shape emotional wellbeing, and how therapy can support children and adolescents to develop greater understanding, resilience, and confidence over time. I have extensive experience supporting children and young people with diverse developmental and psychological profiles, including autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and complex emotional needs.
Alongside direct clinical work, I place strong importance on working thoughtfully with parents and carers, recognising the central role of family relationships in a child’s emotional life. My approach is reflective, attuned, and grounded in careful listening, with an emphasis on providing therapy that is responsive to each child’s individual needs.

Client aged 16
Carrie was really easy to talk to and it helped me open up in our sessions. I actually started looking forward to our therapy. She said that I could come back if I ever wanted to and I would recommend her as a therapist because she really helped me.

She guided us with patience, clarity, and empathy, giving us practical tools that have continued to help us support him day‑to‑day.
