Psychological therapy, tailored to you

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy or DDP is a family-based intervention that deepens the emotional connection within families through the core principles of Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy.

DDP was developed as a therapeutic tool for working with children who have experienced significant early trauma, children who are looked after, and for adoptive and foster families.

We help to strengthen families who are experiencing relationship difficulties.

At Brightside we use the principles of DDP and attachment theory to help to strengthen families who are experiencing relationship difficulties, through work with parents.

We can also offer consultation and supervision to residential and educational staff teams who work with traumatised children and young people, using a DDP and attachment-informed framework.

Please note that Brightside Psychology is a service for adults, so we do not work directly with children and young people.

This has changed my life totally.

For most of my life the OCD controlled me, but after working with Sophie I now control the OCD. This has changed my life totally. I’m far more at ease than I have ever been in my life. I can now ride the wave of OCD without feeling overwhelmed.

She is warm, trusting, genuine

Sophie has an extensive breadth of knowledge and clinical expertise which she brings to the supervisory relationship. She is warm, trusting, genuine and empathic and her supervisory style enables a safe supervision environment.

we can talk through and resolve any difficulties

After coming to see Sophie we are communicating so much better. We have a better understanding of our relationship values and we can talk through and resolve any difficulties before they escalate into an argument

I am so, so glad I visited Sophie.

I am so, so glad I visited Sophie. She was welcoming, sympathetic and got to the heart of my long-term problems in an unhurried but professional way. She gave me some excellent strategies for coping that I am still using.
