In this episode, I spoke to Dr Alice Loving. Alice is an experienced practitioner and academic with a passion for working with families, providing expert parenting assessment and mentalization based video intervention. This style of intervention has been effective in bringing about lots of positive change for families in care proceedings and as a form of early intervention work to support parent and child attachments and interactions.

Alice has developed and runs training on this training so that practitioners can learn the skills to be able to use this effectively in practice. If you would like to get more information about mentalisation techniques in practice or have a family in mind who might benefit from this type of support, do connect with Alice.
