Hello. I am Deborah Barkham
I became a psychotherapist to help improve the mental health and wellbeing of children, adolescents and young people who are experiencing difficulties.
I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and am a member of the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists (TSP).
I have had a 30 year career as a teacher and SENDCo. I have always been interested in children and young people who are not thriving, or who displayed changed or challenging behaviours and emotions. My ambition was to work with children and young people to make a positive impact on their lives.
I subsequently embarked on Psychodynamic Psychotherapy training with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. My work with children, young people and their families builds understanding of emotional and psychological challenges, moving towards more positive relationships and behaviours.
I work with evidence-based psychoanalytic techniques including play, art, talking and thinking together to impact a wide range of emotional problems and mental health issues. I am here to help…please get in touch.

If you would like to discuss ways that I might help your child, adolescent or young adult, get in touch for a free 15 minute consultation. I am based in Bristol and offer one to one psychotherapy sessions from my therapy room in Bishopston. I also offer on-line consultations when appropriate.
