Gentle Journeys is a service for parents of babies and toddlers age 0-5 years, run by Dr Zara Rahemtulla and Dr Kerri Walster, both Clinical Psychologists. Gentle Journeys is about supporting parents to feel confident about themselves and the way they raise their children. As psychologists we draw from attachment theory, neuroscience and respectful parenting principles. We want to help parents manage their own emotional well being and fully understand their child's communications so they can respond with knowledge and compassion.
About
We are two Clinical Psychologists, specialising in working with parents and their babies or toddlers in the NHS in London. We wanted to branch out to support more parents in the community, perhaps those who might not ordinarily access NHS services. We help families in various ways – we might help an individual parent with anxiety or depression, or a couple with their relationship difficulties since becoming parents, or work with parents and toddlers together to help strengthen the relationship. We also give advice on sleep, weaning, toddler tantrums and parenting skills in general.
